[QUOTE="Azure Trance, post: 800252, member: 372"] You clicked. Hm, maybe you're interested in what this thread is about which doesn't have really a dime to do with RPGs (got into de-RPG mode a few months ago, and it's strangely, strangely calm). Regardless, my last topic had someone mentioning the words warp and weft. I thought to myself, what cool words. Most likely not known by anybody not a tailor, but cool words nonetheless. Are there any cool words that's not really known or used that you'd like to share and inject into everyday vocabulary? I'm not sure why, and probably sound geeky, but I see using different words in communicating the same thing as better usage of the language. Or something to the effect of, you're not making the best use out of it. And I like trivia. So not really a 'fun' game but one I'm (and hopefully others here) interested in nonetheless. [list][*]My start: [i]Succintly[/i]. Most people knows what it means by reading it I think (concise), but I never heard it said. Ever.
