In my opinion You may know that an aglet is the tiny plastic covering on the end of a shoelace, but did you know that tyrotoxism is to be poisoned by cheese? Obviously these two things have nothing to do with each other, except to increase your vocabulary.

Words you never hear

Now that we are in summer vacation, we can’t let our brains turn to mush! Toss in some of these crazy little-used words to impress your friends at the pool, the beach, or the ice cream social. (I doubt you will ever find these bon mots in your crossword

puzzle.)

You can interject “folderol” in a sentence fairly easily (a folderol is a useless ornament or accessory or nonsense). Maybe that’s what you think of new vocabulary words.

Hopefully jumentous will not be

Slices of life

Column ideas

Regular readers of this column know that subject matter varies from week to week. Nearly any topic that has to do with everyday life is fair game. Quite simply, it’s often about whatever strikes a chord in any given week.

Sometimes column ideas spill forth freely. Other times, I have to eke them out like a stubborn sliver stuck in ones thumb. Occasionally, readers will approach me with column ideas.

“I think you should write about fill-inthe-blank here.”

This comes across as a compliment and makes me happy. Someone trusts me to write about something that is near and dear to them. That’s great.

When this does happen, I thank them for their input. Then I smile and nod and try not to promise I will write about their topic, because most likely I won’t. It’s not that their topic isn’t a good one. It most often is. Problem is, it is most often newsworthy.

My column topics are hardly ever newsworthy. They are opinions, not journalistic masterpieces.

Masterpieces are masterpieces.

Opinions are opinions. I write opinions.

So when I do get a suggestion, I politely thank the person for their input and try not to make any promises I can’t keep. Most often, readers will leave it at that. They don’t

done with discussing the likelihood of me writing about gun laws, I decided to do something unconventional and By crazy. I decided to be honest. I told JILL him I wasn’t feeling the gun law topic PERTLER Contributor and didn’t think I’d write about it but if he felt passionate about gun laws perhaps he could address it in a letter to the editor.

He got mad and hasn’t spoken to press the issue. me since. Seriously.

This isn’t always the case. Years I have a few take-aways from ago, someone wanted me to write this situation. First, no matter how about gun laws. I don’t even know bizarre and unorthodox it may seem, what stance he took on gun laws – if sometimes honesty gets you your he was for them or against them. He desired outcome. I didn’t want to never said. I guess he assumed his stance was the right one and of course make this guy mad, but I don’t think I’d agree with that and write from his I’ll ever have to talk with him about gun laws ever again. perspective.

Second, I got material for this Anyhow, he wouldn’t let it go. I’d run into him every once in awhile and column. It may not be about gun laws in the way he envisioned it, but I did he’d always remind me that I was mention gun laws. That’s got to mean supposed to write about gun laws. something.

The first few times this happened I Third I was able to work in a attempted to divert the conversation mention one of my favorite characters, to something – anything – less Pooh, in a column that is sort-of but controversial than gun laws: the not really about gun laws. If that’s not weather, politics, climate change, Disney movies, teddy bears, the global the sweetest take-away of all, I don’t decline of the bee population, the price know what is. (Oh bother!)

Jill Pertler is an award-winning of tea in China. syndicated columnist, published He was not to be thwarted. Like playwright, author and member of Pooh, once he got his mind on the National Society of Newspaper something he stuck to it. Like bees to Columnists.

So, in a last ditch maneuver to be

used to describe an odor you actually find yourself inhaling, just a big word to show off your word skills.

Jjumentous means strongly smelling of horse urine.

On a better note, perhaps you can invite a friend for a jentacular (pertaining to breakfast) outing. It will be spectacular! Or you could go on an erinaceous quest – of, pertaining to, or resembling a hedgehog.

Maybe the qualtagh will resemble a hedgehog. A qualtagh is the first person you encounter after leaving your house. Or possibly the qualtagh could be a xylopolist – a person who sells wood. Wood is handy for campfires.

Why do some people enjoy wordplay and others be bored out of their skull? I don’t know. That’s a bumfuzzle, meaning being confused, perplexed, or flustered or to cause confusion.

Sometimes I fall susceptible to

tarantism – an illness characterized by the sudden urge to dance.

Maybe it is a sickness though to be fascinated with rare words. How about this doozy – Floccinaucinihilipilification.

That’s a lot of syllables: floc·ci·nau·ci·ni·hil·i·pil·i·fi·ca·tion.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, floccinaucinihilipilification is the longest non-technical word in the English language. It means an estimation of something as worthless.

Worthless words or impressive rare vocabulary? You decide. See you at the wayzgoose! (Annual summer party and outing that used to be held by a printing house for all its employees).
