    Vacillate, vacuous, verisimilitude. And that's just the v's.
    Another "V" word for you from my political blogging days... venal..

    I love obscure words. Too bad I can only use them around people who know my pronunciation is rubbish.

    Indubitably, abhor, malarkey, gallivanting...

    Qi, xi, xu, ar, sh, hm, za, et, aa, ae, ai, re, un, ka, ki

    Words with friends?

    ETA: Someone said shenanigans - love that word - definitely not out of use around here. I like defenestration and juxtaposition. Fun to say. Most fun to say - onomatopoeia.

    Not sure if it's a real word, but I like saying "crappola." And apparently it's not real because there's a red squiggly line underneath it. What a bunch of malarkey. :happy:

    fallacious


    The second one seems to throw arrogant debaters for a loop, as they think it refers to something very male. :laugh:
