    I know what you mean, Valse. I have a "curio" list myself, and it's one of my favorites to work on.

    Thanks for the list love, reesetee and spicolli. It's often the curiosities and oldies that draw me into this business of word-collecting. If there are few opportunities to use them in everyday speech (or at least if you run the risk of people glancing at you sideways), that increases their value to some extent. Plus, older literature and the like.

    I love this list. Lots of great old-fashioned, Victorian era words that surprise in everyday use.
