OK. Here is a thread for words you know (or uncover) that others might not know.

Who says Nationstates cannot be educational?

Here's one I came across in a newspaper, and had to look up:

skiamachy - Pretending to fight, mock fighting.

"But Mum, we weren't fighting. We were engaging in skiamachy."
 
paizogony__________________Making out, engaging in foreplay, necking,


A useful word at last:

"Dad, can I go to Bradley's house tonight? He needs to teach me about paizogony before a test in college tomorrow"

"Of course you can, dear. Good to see you concentrating on your studies. Have the car keys."
 
Barathrum ________________ An insatiable person.


As in....


"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours."
 
karezza _________________ prolonged sex without orgasm

As in:

"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours, but unfortunately for me, it was just a case of karezza."
 
alabandical _____________ to get completely rat-arsed. So drunk that you cannot stand.

"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours, but then he got so alabandical that he could not .... continue. So for me it was just a case of karezza."
 
I am on a roll....

aretaloger ______________________ one who boasts about their (sexual) prowess.


"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours, but then he got so alabandical that he could not .... continue. So for me it was just a case of karezza. He claims to be such a stud! But really he is just an aretaloger.
 
ABSQUATULATE:
To make off, decamp, or abscond.


FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION:
The action or habit of judging something to be worthless.


COLOPHONIAN:

(Colophon, a weird-enough word in its own right, is the name for the inscription at the end of a book that gives facts about its publication or design.)
 
Houghmangandy - To have sexual intercourse with somebody you are not married to.

as in....

"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours, but then he got so alabandical that he could not .... continue. So for me it was just a case of karezza. He claims to be such a stud! But really he is just an aretaloger. That is the last time I houghmangandy with HIM!"
 
This seemed apropos...

2. Long and ponderous; having many syllables.

noun:
1. A long word.

epicaricacy n. - taking pleasure in others' misfortune

as in....

"my god, Bradley is such a barathrum. Last night he had me enagaging in paizogony for hours, but then he got so alabandical that he could not .... continue. So for me it was just a case of karezza. He claims to be such a stud! But really he is just an aretaloger. That is the last time I houghmangandy with HIM, so next time you see him you can get a real sense of epicaricacy, because you know HE ain't getting any!"
