Which words do you like but you never get chance to use them because they aren't relevant anymore or the opportunity doesn't arise.

rambunctious
apothecary
tintinnabulation

Not a word I know but I can't see me using the phrase, "pompey, top team in the south" for a few years...

I still use that. Cool word.

I like meringue as well but it's hard to fit it into a conversation.

Surreptitious
discombobulate

I use lots of those words.

Use them HS, you'll enjoy it.

What the heck do these words mean? I have no idea... Except crescendo, that's used as a musical term, although I don't remember what it means either.

A crescendo's a build up to a climax - music / tension etc.

That Pompey thing doesn't mean anything, I don't think, so ignore that one.

Ta gilly, you've given me the opportunity to use the word, harrumph!

You're welcome.

And I just wanted to add that the charientisms employed around here produce as much cachinnation as the more frequent borborygmus. Thank heavens we're not plagued with aeolists though, even when gambrinous on a Friday night - though some are guilty of tetraplyoctomy. There are other sites which appear to be filled with jumentous slubberdegullions, who when aren't being inanilouent, seem to be intent on gymnophoria.

Speak English!

Hmm... Finnish words that never get used any more, I could think of few of those.

Here it goes:
Metla = A broom in old east Karelian dialect.
Nasta = it's used, but not in the old meaning, it means a pin(with which you attach stuff on somthing usually on walls), the old meaning is dialect word for "cool" or "fun".
Tupluurit = a nap.
Tampuurimajuri = Small rug placed just inside the frontdoor of a house.
Förskotti = A wage payed early, this is actually swedish word, there's ton of swedish words turned into dialect finnish, mainly used in south.

Hexhammer wrote:
AWESOME!! Using this, we can start our own language It'll be Nasta

Oh, I had a typo in the first one, Metla means broom, not boom.

There's ton of old (or otherwise unused) words in Finnish.
