Comments:
niveous- snow-like? I love how there are words in the English language that are "like" something else that would be more obvious to use. This word in a sentence would look something like, "Hey, Mandy it's snowy out here!" "Tiffany, (insert eye roll here) you mean niveous...my goodness Mandy. Get literate."
odalisque- do we really need another word for concumbine? I think one word pretty much covers it.
oi- sweet.
oleander- A poisonous Eurasian evergreen shrub (Nerium oleander) having fragrant white, rose, or purple flowers, whorled leaves, and long...charm is deceitful and beauty is vain.
panopoly- A complete set, I need a panopoly of socks. Mismatching is only funny when you don't have to wear mismathcing work socks to the gym. Dork alert.
potamophilous- "loving rivers"....this is funny to me- I wonder what the word is for those who hate rivers, antipotamophilous? Sounds like a Greek surname.
pyrrhic- "victorious despite heavy losses"...I wish I knew how to pronounce this word, because when you have no idea what to say to someone who is dealing with deep loss, this would be perfect.
scintillate- in other words...a sun-soaked Edward Cullen...(To sparkle with brilliant light)
seraglio- "Housing for a harem"? What is up with this list, concubine, harem... what's the dealio?
smithereens- like confetti, yippee!
susurrus- "Producing a hushing sound, like flowing water." Just saying this word sounds like shhhhhhhhh...this cracks me up. This word is a yoga video in and of itself.
syzygy- The direct opposition of two heavenly bodies- hmm...like Jolie and Pitt? *dumb pun intended
