    What words would you like to see being put to more use?

    I nominate:

    Oodles
    Smidgeon
    Bamboozled
    Eclectic

    lol good thread.
    but i had to use an online dictionary to understand the first two words. could u use them in a sentence ?
    would this be a coherent sentence : "i want oodles of wine, but since i'm already drunk i'll just have a smidgeon instead" ??

    amalgamate
    proclivity
    meticulous
    eclectic
    indifferent
    tentative
    redundant
    concurrent

    not really 'out there' words, but words instead

    i get called pretentious for using, although i see them as pretty basic english.

    Yeah thats pretty good. Perhaps if you had consumed oodles more wine it would have been a smidgeon more difficult to construct the sentence.

    Haha, good question! I guess that sentence makes sense, but the words are used so rarely its hard to know!
    I really only use Smidgeon if someone asks me if I want something...say cake, and I'll reply with ''Just a smidgeon, thanks!''
    And Oodles is just a funny way to say lots of something :)


    I'd also like to see the word ''Spondoolicks'' used more often (if its even an actual word...if its not, it should be!)

    oodles thanks for your copasetic answer. i meticulously try not to amalgamate french syntax and english syntax (hopefully that wasnt redundant).
