Here is a running list of the best words in our freaky language. These are by no means in any order, so don’t send me hate mail for putting opprobrious halfway down the list. Feel free to suggest any others that are worthy.

Kerfuffle - fuss
Eleemosynary – charitable
Penuriousness - poor
Onomatopoeia - sound words
Jingoism - patriotism
Facetious – jocular
Rump - booty
Guffaw - laugh
Opprobrious – abusive
Nugatory – unimportant
Tatterdemalion - ragamuffin
Perspicacious – clever
