Nice I like this one:

Apotheosis

 

I came across this the other day:

proletariat

The proletariat is a term used to identify a lower social class;
a member of such a class is proletarian.

 

How do you write the sound scooby doo makes when he is puzzled, I have tried to write it down;

HHuuurghh!

That's a great sound to make when the gasman comes over to read the meter and you don't know where it is!!!

 

There's 'word' calendars about.. somebody where I used to work had one, pretty cool.

 

Don't get me and Dawn started on this

I think you'll find that those words are actually reasonably well-known. I used 'Apotheosis' in a conversation a few weeks ago - got some quizzical looks, but a couple of people knew what it meant. As for 'proletariat' - anyone with even an 'A' level politics, economics, history or sociology education knows about the proles and the bourgeoise

 

I actually came across that while reading Das Kapital

 

I thought it was the thing that a doctor puts on rubber gloves to check out...

 

I like the sound of that railway station in Wales.

 

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis anyone? (disease of the lungs suffered by coal-miners, I believe)

 

What, Cardiff?

 

Was thinking of Rhyl

 

Ahh you mean Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (and yes i can say it, 15 years in wales means you learn one or two words....)

The name means: St Mary's Church (Llanfair) in a hollow (pwll) of white hazel (gwyngyll) near (goger) the swirling whirlpool (y chwyrndrobwll) of the church of St Tysilio (llantysilio) with a red cave ([a]g ogo goch). (wikipedia)
