Words That Have Fallen Out Of Common Usage


Pingu

Recommended Posts

Ooh, these are great words and nobody will know what your talking about :laughingsmiley:

 

 

fuzzle

To make fuzzy with drink. From the German fusslig, which means just impaired enough with drink to speak indistinctly.

 

I can totally understand this one. I love it!

It isn't always very complimentary:

 

pinguescence

 

Here's a rare word for the process of becoming fat. From the Latin, pinquis, meaning fat. If you pinguefy something, you saturate it with oil, make it greasy.
