Oddly enough, that's a word which has kept popping into my head a lot lately. I knew it was a political word of some kind, but couldn't remember what it meant.
argonautweakend posted... whatre some other weird words? Well, back when I was doing my word of the day series, I wound up covering a few weird words: Docent - A term for a museum guide because apparently museum guide isn't direct enough Decedent - Legal term for a deceased person. I guess "the deceased" doesn't just do, despite tv lawyers using that. Presentiment - Synonym for foreboding. First learned about when watching j-horror since translators often tend to use less common English words because their mastery of both languages generally isn't fluid. And, when I glanced at Merriam-Webster, the word of the day is Gravaman which, apparently, isn't a superhero but instead the significant part of a grievance. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

I can't think of any weird words but I know a bunch that I hardly hear anyone use.
Lassitude perhaps Definitely don't see vituperative very often either. I always see people use verdant or fertile instead of fecund, but it's still a bit more common. Tenebrous. --- GT:Linkman6 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Opus was the Bloom Picayune's ombudsman for a short time. I believe that was the first time I'd ever encountered the word.

Yeah Ombudsman is very English, our regulators are called ombudsmen. Like the Communication Ombudsman for example. --- GT:- Babbit55 PC - i5 4670k, 16g ram, RX 480, 2tb hybrid drive. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's very english. Babbit55 posted... Yeah Ombudsman is very English, our regulators are called ombudsmen. From Wikipedia: Etymologically rooted in the Old Norse word umbosmar, essentially meaning "representative" (with the word umbud/ombud meaning proxy, attorney, that is someone who is authorized to act for someone else, a meaning it still has in the Scandinavian languages). This is why the apparently English word 'Ombudsman' confused me. I guess you learn something new everyday. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
