#1

Bumbershoot

It's a synonym for umbrella. ☂️

Also, many phobias have super weird long names that contradict their meanings. Such as hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (fear of long words, ironic isn't it?), Arachibutyrophobia (fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth) and many more.

    Upsettling.
    It's what's known as a portmanteau word, like a combination of the words 'unsettling' and upsetting.' I love it.
