Time once more for Friday High Five hosted by Angela.
Five Rare Words That I Have Never Used Before
balnearii – People who steal clothing from public baths.
bathysiderodromophobia – The fear of subways.
ventripotent – Having a fat belly, or being a glutton.
yaud – A worn out or old horse.
zenzizenzizenzic – A number raised to the eighth power.
i haven’t ever used any of those words, either, although i do actually have experience with all of them!
Now I can tell people that my belly isn’t fat, it is ventripotent (that sounds much more important;)
I love your choice of words and am curious how many people have had to steal clothes from a public bath before a word was created to describe their action.
Hmmm, I’m not entirely convinced those words exist. You sure you didn’t just make them up?? I’ve never heard them before!
Google is your friend. As are the Online Dictionary and the Legal Dictionary. So yes, all these words are real.
I wasn’t seriously doubting you – only kidding around. I obviously need to expand my vocabulary.
The trick now is to incorporate those words into conversations today.
Unfortunately, I feel that ventripotent might have some meaning around this house!
I am ventripontent… but this word rocks big time -“bathysiderodromophobia”
That zenzen word certainly explains part of the reason why I hate math.
