I know some curmudgeons for sure. I probably will become one myself when I am old. Good word @thisnthat and @Angie10. Who doesn't love to say the word nincompoop.

persnickety - means fussy or worrying over the smallest details another lovely word to say.

[thisnthat]

Okay, I've been slacking, but here's another one:

Pusilanimous

It's a bigger word for cowardly...

[chikitta]

Okay for te first time I am hearing all these new words except for one. Where are you guys getting this words? Unfortunately I have no new word.

[morgoodie]

Sapiosexual - someone who finds intellect to be attractive quality in another person

[sprite1950]

Acersecomic - a person whose hair has never been cut.

@chikitta - I just google 'unusual words' and pick one from the list it brings up. There's no reason you can't and you can learn something new at the same time.

[thisnthat]

Emacity

Sapiosexual - someone who finds intellect to be attractive quality in another person

I like that.

[morgoodie]

Many people will be experiencing this very soon if not already.

abiturient - a student leaving school and going to university

I thought it was pretty apropos for this time of year.

[thisnthat]

Here's one that sounds funny:

Kefuffle

Thanks, morgoodie I also like Persnickety, although because I speak/write British English, I'm more accustomed to Pernickety.

New word-

Pontificate-

express one's opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic

[morgoodie]

@Angie10 I never knew it was different like that. Interesting fact. Pontificate is an excellent word too.

Plethora - a large amount of something
We are gaining a plethora of knowledge by doing these words of the day!!

Kefuffle does sound weird but it is fun saying it @thisnthat

[thisnthat]

Dactylion

The tip of the middle finger.

[morgoodie]

Interesting. Never thought it would have a name just for the tip of a certain finger.

quaquaversal (kwey-kwuh-vur-suh-l) - sloping down on all sides from the center

[thisnthat]

I'm really glad you added the pronunciation for that, @morgoodie.

Zarf

Decorative holder for cup of hot liquid.

[morgoodie]

I had a hard time pronouncing it so I didn't want anyone else to have a problem. Its a pretty weird word.

Here is one that will be fun to say

Bumfuzzle - it means to confuse or fluster

I can't imagine using Zarf in my life. "I think I will go to the store and buy a Zarf" yeah just doesn't sound right.

[purple19]

ecotherapy-a method of improving someone’s well-being by engaging them in outdoor activities such as gardening and conservation work

[morgoodie]

I am sure we have all had neighbors or have known people like this. I know I have.

[thisnthat]

I can't imagine using Zarf in my life. "I think I will go to the store and buy a Zarf" yeah just doesn't sound right.

Ha ha, that's why I like it.

Petrichor

That after the rain scent, when there hasn't been any rain for a while. Cool, I didn't even know there was a word to describe that smell. One of my favorite scents.

[morgoodie]

Nice. I love that smell too. It kind of smells metallic but fresh. I didn't know there was a word for but it makes sense that there is.

Turpitude - a vile or base act

I just love to say this word. I don't know why.

[thisnthat]

I just love to say this word. I don't know why.

Ha, I know, right? Some of these are just too funny and fun to say. Lots of interesting stuff too.

Absquatulate

to leave in an abrupt manner.

I guess it's the opposite of being a squatter...

[morgoodie]

Oh my! I used to absquatulate from work every day!!!!!

I loved to say this word at work all the time

discombobulate - means to confuse

Some of the customers used to be very discombobulated.

We are having way too much fun.....
