I like that, a nice word and I suppose we all have our own idiosyncratic tendencies.

I think intrinsic is a word often needed to describe or classify something.

A common word for me always discussing the Aussie Bush (countryside)

Often used by me, as I am surrounded by plenty of people who are discombobulated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Gerund and snotters unknown to me.
I doubt I will ever use gerund. Snotters, definitely a UK specific word?

I first encountered Gerund in school in English lessons.
Snotter is a sailing term for a yardarm.
It is also sniveling, mostly in Scotland.

How about bellicose?

I know this word through my love of crossword puzzles.

How about Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious

No idea what it means.

That long word means - Wonderful

Twonker.

I believe discombobulate is incorrectly derived from the cartoon series Pixie and Dixie, where Jinks the cat, who hated “mieces to pieces” invented a death-ray gun called a discombooberator.
