sanguine

can mean either bloodthirsty or confident, optimistic

OneBadApple's avatar

refurbish

glacial's avatar

Cleave.

It can mean bring together, or split apart. Each word has a separate etymology – how cool is that?

OneBadApple's avatar

colonoscopy

ibstubro's avatar

@tom_g Quite a clever definition!

“having blood as the predominating bodily humor; also : having the bodily conformation and temperament held characteristic of such predominance and marked by sturdiness, high color, and cheerfulness”

I love those MW games!!

ibstubro's avatar

@OneBadApple refurbish is amazingly close to rubbish.

ibstubro's avatar

Very cool, @glacial.

Thanks!

OneBadApple's avatar

rancid

Nimis's avatar

@tom_g Knew it meant something related to blood. Didn’t realize it could also mean confident or optimistic. Interesting and a bit confusing!

ibstubro's avatar

@OneBadApple You’d think the doctor would get tired of that practical joke, and warm colonoscopy up a bit!

OneBadApple's avatar

Yeah. Kind of like ‘rhinoplasty’.

ibstubro's avatar

Rancid strikes me as kind of a pretty word for an ugly thing.

“My dear, your soup is utterly rancid!”

ibstubro's avatar

Oooo…nice @YARNLADY Fun to say plus a cool word.

gailcalled's avatar

Sanguine, because it has two difference and almost antonymous (another good word) meanings.

Pachy's avatar

“Languid.” To me it sounds exactly like what it means—slow and relaxed.

ibstubro's avatar

Have another, @gailcalled?

@tom_g broke the wind ice with sanguine.

NuclearWessels's avatar

Bungalow

Pachy's avatar

OneBadApple, I’ve always had difficulty pronouncing “colonoscopy” and get it mixed up with that awful “colostomy.”

ibstubro's avatar

Yes, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room languid immediately brings to my mind Williams and Faulkner

ibstubro's avatar

Yes, @NuclearWessels, bungalow is very jaunty!

Thanks!

OneBadApple's avatar

Yeah, @Pachyderm_In_The_Room , as we all know, the first can always potentially lead to the second….

ibstubro's avatar

Yes, @Hawaii_Jake, lull might be a little more liquid in my mind than languid. As in ocean waves. Very appropriate!

Kind of awkward word to say aloud, @gailcalled, but a great concept.

For those of you with limited knowledge, I mean.

gailcalled's avatar

^^ Be careful to pronounce it as “crep” and not “crap.”

It’s not about having limited

knowledge but the lack of awareness therein. (Or do I mean thereto?)

I am eclipsed by the jocularity being bandied about.

wildpotato's avatar

Gutturniform – shaped like a water pitcher.

Kardamom's avatar

Recompense, a more elegant way of saying compensation.

ibstubro's avatar

Nah, @Unbroken. Bandied is is a great word! For some strange it makes me think of that guy on the old western TV show that walked with a distinct limp.

ibstubro's avatar

Really, @wildpotato? What a fun word. Almost like Guggenheim.

ibstubro's avatar

@Kardamom Now, I always thought recompense sounded like a pig-latiny kind of word. I’m pleased someone likes it! :-)

Kardamom's avatar

@ibstubro It sounds French to me.

Smitha's avatar

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. (cool word right!).
A word from the Disney film production of the book Mary Poppins describing any quality that is so indescribable that you have no real word to say it with.

@dxs Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! from MARY POPPINS it took me some time to pronounce it!

@ibstubro LOL! (I thought about it twice before posting here!)

Testaceous (sounds dirty, but isn’t)

Yup, @downtide sounds like it should refer to the testicles of a shrimp, or something akin. lol Good one.

syz's avatar

@gailcalled This one’s for you.

I am currently ready Mary Roach’s Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, and she notes some wonderful medical terms that deserve to put into the common lexicon.

Grumous (meaning “clotted or lumpy”)
glabrous (“smooth and hairless”)
periblepsis (“the wild look of delirium”)
maculate (“spotted”)

Anoesis .

syz's avatar

I am definitely going to work “grumous” into a conversation soon! (And here I thought describing the material in an abscess as caseous was fun!)

(It sounds almost like something a ‘Valley girl’ or ‘surfer dude’ would say.)

syz (35943points)“Great Answer” (1points)
ibstubro's avatar

@syz Ah. I often (seriously) wonder about words like ‘immaculate’. “Is there such a thing as ‘maculate’?”

In this case, apparently, YES.

ibstubro's avatar

Sorry, @lx102303. I looked it up and the definition was too short for me to have an understanding.

Still good to see your girly little avatar!

;-)

downtide's avatar

I am also fond of the word “gobsmacked” which you won’t find in the Oxford Dictionary, and which means shocked or astonished, especially when accompanied by an expression that makes you look like you’ve just been smacked in the mouth.

Example: “It actually IS in the Oxford Dictionary, I’m gobsmacked”.

ibstubro's avatar

I’m familiar with gobsmacked, @downtide, but I would have said ”...like you’ve just been smacked in your pie hole.”

:)

OneBadApple's avatar

‘Adventures on the Alimentary Canal’ also sounds dirty, but (probably) isn’t…

ibstubro's avatar

You rectum, @OneBadApple? That’s an intestineing thought.

‘Adventures on the Alimentary Canal’ put me mind of Tom Sawyer.

Okay fine…I’ll change it to Tarnation!

Aww, that’s just crotchety-oldtimer-coot-speak, is it not ?

I LOVE Tarnation, @Coloma. We can’t let loose of our roots.

Speaking for the male population here, of course.

My crossword-loving pal called again and asked me what “eponymous” meant. A good word-of-the-day, I thought.

ibstubro's avatar

Wow, @gailcalled. You accidentally learned me something! Did you know that: “An eponym is a person or thing, whether real or fictional, after which a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item is named or thought to be named.”

I never know that “eponym” was a word.

OneBadApple's avatar

Speaking of which, in May we took that ‘cog’ train up to Pikes Peak in Colorado. History tells us that Zebulon Pike first discovered and explored this area, and is why its highest point is named for him.

On the train tour, they said that actually another intrepid American (named ‘Wilson’ or something) went to the top first, and that Pike’s expedition never made it all the way up. But there already was a mountain named ‘Wilson’s Peak’, so it was decided to just call this one Pikes Peak for convenience.

ibstubro's avatar

Miffed is so…Country Club.

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

@gailcalled: Yes, gelid, like some personalities. Good word. Very, very cool ;-)

My latest is deliquescence:
– del·i·quesce , intr.v. del·i·quesced, del·i·quesc·ing, del·i·quesc·es
1.a. To melt away. b. To disappear as if by melting.

2. Chemistry: To dissolve and become liquid by absorbing moisture from the air.

3. Botany: a. To branch out into numerous subdivisions that lack a main axis, as the stem of an elm. b. To become fluid or soft on maturing, as certain fungi.

I’ve never heard nor read this word before, which is rare these days. I ran into it recently in a book on Africa, written in 1953. The author, a highly experienced American journalist and bureau chief, was describing what happened to the caliphate of Fez after the 1912 invasion of colonial troops and superimposition of French government upon Morocco. They ostensibly allowed it to exist as a reward for their cooperation during the invasion, but actually starved it of political power over a period of time. It simply deliquesced. Efficient, nonviolent, and predictably passive aggressive (read civilized) on the part of the French colonial government.

The only thing I think I could use it for is to describe in first person how the world melts away when one loses consciousness. I like the word. Or it could be used to describe what happens to a gelid woman who finally meets her match.
