Wow that's tough.

[Shiara]

What the hell is Terpsichore?

[Use Of Weapons]

She's one of the nine muses, IIRC. Muse of poetry? *Googles* Nope, muse of dance and the 'dramatic chorus'. Pronounced 'terp-SICK-uh-ree'

[Blind Sapper]

Dramatic chorus...aren't they those guys that just repeat what the character says and not do anything?

[Shiara]

That...has got to be one of the worst names I've ever heard. It's up there with Gretchin

[Blind Sapper]

And Olga.

[Slow Ben]

Scrumtrulescent.

[Use Of Weapons]

Hey, I know an Olga. It's a great name!

I don't, however, believe that 'scrumtrulescent' is a real word. Cite! (Oooh, that takes me back.)

[Blind Sapper]

I wish I knew an Olga...I'm sure it's a nice name when attached to a nice person.

[Blind Sapper]

Can't believe it's been a week already.

Wait...is Gretchen Lohan or one of the actual Mean Girls?

That reference was quite esoteric.

Bees knees is not out dated, I hear it quite frequently from people of all ages.
But I do approve of this thread.
Favourite long rarely used word is

flibbertigibbet (spelled horrendously wrong likely)

[Shiara]

How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Also, spelunking is a great word (as used by Bruce Wayne when explaining his need for body armor).

New word of the week: therianthrope

A therianthrope is a being that is part animal, part human. Most often used to refer to the Egyptian gods like Bast and Anubis, who the heads of a cat and a jackal respectively, it could also refer to the minotaur. Some creatures could be serially therianthropic: werewolves are the best example of this.

Quite apt for a fantasy site. All human Soletaken would be therianthropes.
