bradleyrturner commented on the word cockchafer
"Five hundred and one million of what?" repeated the little prince, who never in his life let go of a question once he had asked it.
The businessman raised his head.
"During the fifty-four years that I have been living on this planet, I have only been disturbed three times. The first was twenty-two years ago by a cockschafer who dropped down from goodness knows where. He made the most awful noise and I made four errors in my sums. The second time was eleven years ago by an attack of rheumatism. I don't get enough exercise. I have no time for slacking. I'm a serious man. The third time... well this is it! As I was saying, five hundred and one million..."
"Million of what?"
-- Antoine De Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince (Indialog 2006): 58-9

These are great. There's another list of this sort out there, but it's smaller and has a less elegant title. Somebody should combine them. See Words That Sound Naughty, but Aint For some reason this list reference syntax never works.

Great idea, ecbrenner. I'm starting to add some terms that are less-technical than yours but nonetheless describe poems and poetry, e.g., rhythm, lexicon. I hope that's OK.
