Word that most recently confounded me is "avoirdupois". Came across it when throwing together some UI documentation ("Conversions are made using the following conversion ratios: 1.000 Pound (avoirdupois) = 0.454 Kilograms - 1.000 Kilogram = 2.205 Pounds (avoirdupois)"). Then ran into one in Sunken Temple of Qarn (big stone head). Weird week.
