Words That Are Not Used Frequently Enough:
* Shnikes!
* Grotty
* Souse (e.g. "Souse him." SPLASH!)
* Perfidious
* Spurious
* Abscond (e.g. "My dear, even now the constabulary is searching the very basements of all the houses in the town for me. I must abscond with all haste.")
* Brobdingnagian
* Stupendous
* Ornery
And a passage from a 2001 entry in one of my many old journals:
"When we got a bit peckish, we went to 'Happy Produce' (as opposed to sad produce?) and got snacks. Yam Yams, Botan rice candies, and Kasugai Cola gummies that, according to the package 'relax everybody with smooth taste and refleshing flavour'. Refleshing? REFLESHING? Is this a nice way of saying they make you fat? Or do they heal wounds, stigmata and whatnot? Refleshing."
