bluetangle commented on the word rebarbative
"Still, everyone appeared to be extremely nice, except that that Dr. Greenfield man was a trifle rebarbative. (This was a word which Toby had recently learnt at school and could not now conceive of doing without.)" - Iris Murdoch, The Bell

bluetangle commented on the word googlewhack
Long, long ago a friend found a googlewhack that worked. It no longer does. Interpolation rimjob.

bluetangle commented on the word leucomelanous
Having dark hair (and sometimes dark eyes) and pale skin. My favorite word from my grandpa's 1950s dictionary, and my favorite type of fellow.
