There's truly a word for everything.


1. Wamble
The awkward, and sometimes untimely, rumbling sound your tummy makes for any number of reasons. Next time you hear the rumble at least you'll know its true name.

2. Aglet
The plastic or metal coating found at the tip of a shoelace. If you learned anything from Phineas and Ferb, this was probably it.

3. Tines
The prongs on a fork actually have a name, and it's as dorky as you might assume.

4. Glabella
The little bit of skin between your eyebrows is called a glabella. Well thank goodness I now know the word to describe where my headaches originate from.

5. Griffonage
A fancy word for handwriting you cannot read. So our doctors don't have sloppy handwriting, they're just skilled in griffonage.

6. Lunule
The white, crescent shaped part of your nail. Next time someone asks you what you're doing when you're filing your nails tell them, "I'm sharpening my lunule."

7. Tittle
The word for the small dots over the letters 'i' and 'j.' Also what sixth grade boys call boobs (not a scientific fact, just my opinion).

8. Interrobang
The combination of an exclamation point and a question mark. Also known as the, "whoops she seems mad" punctuation mark.

9. Obelus
The real name for the division sign, because division sign is far too simple and straightforward.

10. Zarf
The little paper slip we wrap our hot coffee cups in.

11. Barm
Beer foam. I can not explain why it's "barm" and not "boam," but I'm not the queen of naming things, so.

12. Petrichor
The way it smells after it rains, commonly known as "wet concrete."

13. Purlicue
The space between the thumb and the forefingers. Generally the worst place to get a papercut.

14. Peen
The forked end of a hammer's head. What I always assumed was called "the nail pulling out part."

15. Nurdle
A small dollop of toothpaste.

16. Phosphenes
The blurbs of light you see when you close your eyes and cover them with your hands.

17. Philtrum
The small indentation that starts under your nose and runs to the upper lip.

18. Octothorpe
The "#" key on a phone. Now commonly referred to as a hashtag.

19. Armscye
The armhole in all of your clothing.

20. Minmus
The fancy name for your pinky toe.

21. Cornicone
The outer part of a pizza crust where there's no sauce or cheese.

22. Overmorrow
The day after tomorrow.

23. Ferrule
The metal part on a pencil that connects the eraser to the wood.

24. Punt
The bottom of a wine bottle. Not related to the football position.

25. Lemniscate
The real name of the infinity symbol. Commonly used as a tattoo.

26. Dysania
The feeling, or struggle, to get out of bed. Also known as every morning post-alarm clock.

27. Nibling
The non-gender defined word for a niece or nephew.

28. Collywobbles
The butterflies you get in your stomach from excitement or anxiety. Next time you're nervous be sure to lean in to the person next to you and, in a British accent, whisper, "I've got the collywobbles."

29. Snood
The fleshy, red, jiggly part of a turkeys neck. Also commonly referred to as the "dingly dangly turkey neck bit."

30. Vocable
The random syllables or noises that performers make when they're singing. Usually the "la's" or "na's" that contribute to the melody, but really don't serve a purpose otherwise.

31. Crepuscular rays
The rays of sunlight that break through the cloud layer.

32. Brannock device
The tool they use to measure and size your feet at the shoe store.

33. Zugzwang
When every possible move in a board game, particularly chess, is to your disadvantage. This can also happen while playing Connect Four and Tic-Tac-Toe.

34. Scroop
The sound made by silk in motion. You can hear it while wearing a ballgown, or simple by indulging in fancy pajamas.

35. Kummerspeck
A word based in German heritage which refers to weight gained while stress-eating, eating due to grief or using food to fix your heart. In German it literally translates to grief bacon, which I think it's pretty accurate.

36. Crapulous
You know the feeling when you eat or drink too much and find yourself sick or nauseated? Good thing there's a word for that, which also sounds like a word a third-grader made up to make fun of his playground crush.

37. Niddick
This is the technical term for the nape of your neck.

38. Ideolocator
The true name for the "you are here" marking on a map. These are commonly found in malls and zoos.

39. Peladophobia
This is the uncontrollable fear of bald people.

40. Arachibutyrophobia
The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, which is ironic since this word certainly doesn't flow smoothly.

41. Zings
The posh name for your average hangover.

42. Biblioklept
A compulsive book thief or collector.

43. Aphthongs
Silent letters in words like "knife" and "Django."

How has quoting me helped you ?

Wow, I never heard of most of those words.

Donmoscojaja:

It can help those who are writers, to improve their vocabulary base and that means they appeal to a larger audience plus get better pay.

Okay?

Punt is wrong. It's supposed to be the past tense of pant.
