I got a kick out of someone naming a ‘language-learning’ app Babbel ... The word Babbel means ‘confusion’. Tower of Babel... (Babylon) its origin.

At my age “I” am just happy to have a “BM” every day.
I call it an “Obama” though.

Schwärmerei [schvair-muh-RYE]: excessive unbridled enthusiasm or attachment (Hillary or Obama fans) And then there's "Schadenfreude."

In the late fifties, a contestant on a game show called, ‘21,’ labored mightily to spell a word that looked difficult, but was mostly a string of suffixes and prefixes. What a joke. The word was ‘antidisestablishmentarianism.’

None of those words is in any semblance of common use. One that is that used to stump me all the time is “souvenir”. Brain lock, I guess. I had it tattooed to my frontal lobe and now everything is fi fi fi fine.

It depends on whether you’re talking about this or that or the weather. Then, you just have to weather the conversation whether you like it or the weather or not.
