— Ace Searching (per Dr. Spanks's suggestion) for websites collecting obscure words, I found a bunch, including The Gradiloquent Dictionary and the Luciferous Logolepsy. ("Luciferous" there meaning, as it does in the Fallen Angel's old name, "Bearing light" or "illuminating").
From the first I found this useful word:
eleutherophobia -- fear of freedom
I also found this essay by Will Self on "fast culture," a term he uses for fast-food style culture or education.
Oh, and here's something I found last week: "nonce word," a word invented "for the nonce" and not expected to be used again. A nonce word is an invented non-word where you can still tell what it means, because it's combining real words and suffixes and prefixes and such. For example I just insulted Jake Tapper's cat as "fat, entitled, and dandrous," dandrous being a made-up word for "full of dander."
Now that I know this is A Thing and not just a mistake I make, I'm going to be doing it more. I feel liberated, knowing this is A Thing I'm allowed to do.
(It's possible dandrous really is a word, if you look it up in the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary, but who has one of those? Not me.)

"eleutherophobia -- fear of freedom"
Is that a result of being caged for too long?
Or an aspect of a bureaucracy that is afraid of people having too much of it.

"...A nonce word is an invented non-word where you can still tell what it means, because it's combining real words and suffixes and prefixes and such."
I made up a nonce word, I think.
It was in the heat of the moment...in response to a troll...."clamsquatch".
It just spewed out of me, like a Tourette's moment.
So I wasn't very proud of meself afterward.

Etymology is more interestinger.
Allow me to bore you with a re-post from last April:
Here's a passage in Old English. Ohthere, a Norwegian hunter and traveler, is sailing around Denmark (5th Century) and describing his exploits.
Swīþost hē fōr ðider, tōēacan þæs landes scēawunge, for þǣm horshwælum[/b], for ðǣm hīe habbað swīþe æþele bān on hiora tōþum (þā tēð hīe brōhton sume þǣm cyninge), and hiora hȳd bið swīðe gōd tō sciprāpum.
Ohthere, the filthy scandi, continues talking about these "horshwælum" :
Se hwæl bið miċle lǣssa þonne ōðre hwalas: ne bið hē lenġra ðonne syfan elna lang. [20] Ac on his āgnum lande is se betsta hwælhuntað: þā bēoð eahta and fēowertiġes elna lange, and þā mǣstan fīftiġes elna lange. [21] Þāra hē sǣde þæt hē syxa sum ofslōge syxtiġ on twām dagum.
He thinks they are small whales. He says they are only 7 "elna" or "elles" long, unlike the big whales, which are sixty elles long.
The little whales are horse-size. So he calls them whale-horses.

73...Art happens. If a society is healthy and dynamic, then art will flourish.
Yep.
I think that that whole thing with 'Mr. Brainwash' a couple of years ago...is a testament to how un-healthy our society has become.
The guy put up a show consisting of mass-produced, photo-shopped rubbish.
He claimed to be a 'street artist' like Banksy.
But he wasn't.
So because he managed to hype it as something that was the 'new big thing'...he quickly sold over a million dollars of it.

187 OK you Americans, can you explain why DST gets so much hate? Because to me, all it means is that I get more daylight awake hours.
It was sold to us as a way to 'save energy'...but it doesn't.
It is an unnatural imposition of governmental control.
I began to hate it most, when trying to get kids to bed in the summertime...when it is still very light outside.
"Aw mom, it's not even starting to get dark yet! Why do I have to go to bed!"
Of course I couldn't say..."Because I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and go to work, you little shits."
So I would always fall back on..."Because it's bed time".
And thus began their belief that I was a 'mean mom'.

Hellenologophobia: fear of pseudo scientific or pedantic words.
More literally it would mean something like "fear of words of Greek origin"
Hellen = Greek, Logos = word, phobos = fear. As an added bonus, all the words that make up Hellenologophobia are in fact Greek...

I first used that back in the 1980's when stationed in Alaska. My parents (rest their souls) both got such a chuckle out of it that they had T-shirts made up with a picture of a bird on them, one read "Ptarm" and the other read "Ptarmigan", and they would wear them together.

English truly is the universal language as it take bits and pieces from every language and is still flexible enough to make them up and be understood.

Amongst the many things that the Horde can't have because when we have nice things we do things best not considered with them are apostrophes.
Apparently that depends on browser v. phone posting v. using one of the add ins to correct the charming retroness of new comments thingy.

Ptarmigan is a quail-like gamebird that lives in the Great North, plumage turns snowy white in winter for camouflage. Sort of a plumocamouflage if you will.

A colloquialism here in Dixie is "haint". It means a ghost, spirit, or something you see in shadows, but is not quite there.

I knew a computer refurbisher place that had a dishwasher just for things like keyboards.
Just make sure to take it apart afterward and dry it thoroughly.
This is not necessarily okay with mechanical keyboards, especially old model M's and the likes with steel strings in the keys.
Also, it should be obvious, not for laptop computers.

I was supervisor in a little 30 employee factory when I was in college. I had a high school intern work for me in the afternoons. Wasn't real useful but he tried to stay busy. It was late 70's and we still rotary phones. He decided the employee phone had gotten too disgustingly dirty to use, and washed it, with soap, water, and a scrub brush.
Kept the employees off the broken phone for a while.

Common error in the definition of "abacinate" above - if you hear it pronounced with the hard rather than the soft "c," you can easily parse its actual meaning: "To harm or attempt to harm with an abacus or comparable analog calculating device."
It was one of the more inventive means of disposing of condemned prisoners and those who had offended the August Personage during the Qin Dynasty, and turns up frequently in the classic Journey To the West.
Purely legend, as far as I know, but it's also rumored to be an ultimate form of discipline for C.P.A.s who have transgressed the unwritten, but stringently enforced Code of Accountancy.

Ace: in this country, didn't Paul Prudhomme popularize turduckens? I'm wondering if his Cajun recipe isn't descended, ultimately, from an old French one. Prudhomme has said that Cajun/Creole cooking is basically a matter of applying French cooking techniques to New World ingredients.
Speaking of applying Old World techniques to New World ingredients, I am in the cheesiest of cheese bliss today because I just tried some homemade Camembert cheese, cheese made in my friggin' refrigerator - and it rocks!!! About 4 months ago, I bought a cheese-making kit from a local guy and I found a Wisconsin farmer who is willing to sell raw milk (and I will not mention his name, because the health Nazis might hit him with a drone. Really, he shouldn't be selling raw milk, but he did.) Raw milk makes all the difference in the world. This cheese tastes just as good as the cheese I had in France. I have had nothing but cheese and bread and wine today. This is all I want to eat, ever. I am having cheese orgasms.

Completely apropos of nothing beyond language and the fact that the thread is veering towards things Southern (and I hail from thereabouts and have the dropped gs ready to go at a moment's notice if y'all require further proof of citizenship), William Faulkner was a real waste of protoplasm.
He was the highbrow version of Larry the Cable Guy, reducing Southerners to a grotesque parody that feeds into the worst, distorted stereotypes and perpetuates prejudices that were already out of date by the 1840s.

And are we ever going to get away from the television trope of the Southern Character Who (Amazingly!) Can Form Complete Sentences and Is Actually Capable of Intelligent Thought as a surprise twist? I mean, for example, I loved The Closer, but that was the entire raison d'etre of the show, and I've lost count of how many times that's been a plot element of episodic television in the last twenty years or so.
Geez.

Cornish game hens are wonderful!!! I have a great recipe for Cornish hens stuffed with grapes and porcini mushrooms (Yes, I know grapes and mushrooms together sound odd, but that recipe was a hit with even my pickiest, "plain food" relatives.) Cook Cornish hens well and your wife will be won over.
Nothing, however, is as good as my HOMEMADE CHEESE!!! Yay me! I am very delighted, Peaches, thanks!

Popular culture has always made us southerners out to be idiots. Been that way since early 1800's but really kicked into high gear during 'reconstruction'. I find this practice very conoderus.

Harrison Bergeron, there is a lot of good Yankee food. You gotta know where to look, that's all. In my town (Milwaukee) an old Polish couple who own a butcher store sell fresh (not smoked) Polish sausage. I've eaten the stuff since I was a child and sorely missed it when I lived in Northern Florida and DC. When I lived in DC and came back here to visit, my mom sent me back to DC with a cooler of the stuff. I cooked it on the grill for a party and everyone (including a chef at a ritzy DC restuarant) raved about how good it was. Sausage made by old folks in a little store-front butcher shop in a blue-collar Milwaukee neighborhood.
The best things are hidden sometimes.

I wandered away for a while, being wont to do such things. I also came back, but have no clue where the thread has wandered. But, enough about me.
One of my best friends in the Army was Puerto Rican by birth, Hispanic Bronx by nature, and he led some great moronesque riffs, based on his semi-native Spanish. One word we came up with was "sofita," which was a small sofa, but, used in context, referred to the dependent spouses who were so common in the Army in Germany, fat and comfortable.
I miss those guys. The Battalion Aid Station in Aschaffenburg was kind of like the Horde, long before the intertubes.

A fnord is a propaganda word conditioned in the masses from a very young age to respond to, usually with fear, anxiety, or uneasiness, but unable to be seen by the general populace. (This definition originates in the Illuminatus trilogy of books by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.) Sometimes it's used in a sentence to denote a general conspiracy (often jokingly), or sometimes it's used for no reason, especially by Discordians fnord.

Soothsayer - was that part of the same running gag that had Kevin Spacey doing a lot of the audition bits? I want to say I remember him doing Pacino trying out for either Luke Skywalker or Han Solo....

Ook - shhhhhh, you were supposed to go along with the bit, like Merovign.
And the passage in RAW where fnord is defined has always stood out for me since I first read it because of the comparison of the teacher introducing it to the students to Doris Day. Personally, though, I liked the whole running gag about Bugs Bunny actually being a watered-down depiction of one of the Elder Gods.

I believe its likely from there ads. I used to just get threats blocked. Now when I go there it ends up trying to immediately send me to another website, where the actual threat is blocked.

In Jackson, Mississippi they always had it (and as far as I can tell still have it) on local broadcast delay in case there's something they want to bleep out. That always gave it a certain frisson for the locals.

Oh, crap, let's not get into the anti-Catholic bashing again. That thread on the Pope was enough to choke a horse. You know what, awkward davies, save your hate for Islam. Not that the Catholic Church doesn't deserve criticism - it sure gets it from the MSM and from lefties/libs. You're piling on.

SNL actually doing topical political humor that's actually topical and humorous? That is so 1975......
If they deign to take note of Paul's filibuster at all, it will be in the context of an Oval Office-based skit where Obama is trying to deliver a speech on the sequester and Paul keeps rushing on camera to be reassured that the O isn't going to be droning anybody. There will be a gag on the order of:
But what about kittens?
Kittens? C'mon.
Muslim kittens. (said with combination wild-eyed/knowing glance to camera)
No, not even then.
That is the SNL writers' room mindset - you could freakin' profile them.

The Farmer: well, I started out with this guy http://www.thecheesemaker.com/?gclid=CMmMr8-s8bUCFZE-Mgod-HMAOQ He ships out of state, and he's very nice and helpful if you email him with questions. However, the biggest boon to me was finding a farmer who sold raw milk to me. That made a huge difference (although cheese made with regular milk will still be OK - try to find unhomoginized (sp?) if you can.)
The frogs can't ship their best cheese to us, because unpastuerised, unhomonigized cheese can't be imported. If you can make it at home - well, it's not only great tasting, it's a big f you to the USDA!
