Gymnasium
Dutch Feast
Hell, that's every holiday. You gotta be drunk to host my family get togethers
Doryphore
Girl
so that's why my teacher will say "alright girls" every time he starts class
Bluetooth
Acnestis
No one’s going to scratch your back if you fling this word at them...
Bully
Cappuccino
I read that too fast and it registered as Capuchin monkey, which I guess also works. 8F7DB85E-8...0-jpeg.jpg
Helvetica
That's also why the Swiss country code is CH, like on the rear of a car: Confederatio Helvetica, "confederation of the Helvetian tribes".
Asinine
Atrate
Baisure
Does this come from the French word "baiser" which means "to kiss"? Breads that kiss in the oven... I loaf this romantic idea! ;-)
Dulciloquent
don Quixote's love, Dulcinea. His horse was Rocinante. Literally "first nag"
Floccinaucinihilipilification
Pandiculation
Harlot
Magniloquent
Muscle
For anyone wondering why: A cliché muscle has a thick middle part that tapers towards the tendons. Hence, it looks a little like the body of a mouse.
Janitor
Related in the sense that both refer to doors/gates (ianua in latin) --- janitor= doorkeeper; Ianus= god of beginnings and endings/passages.
Mythomania

Agelastic
Bathos
Buccula
This article needs a lot of work and some more explanation for many of them.
Love this sort of stuff. Much better than yet more cute cats or social media arguments.
I'd certainly welcome more word articles, but cute cats have their place, too.
