I was reading a celebrity worst dressed list this morning when I happened to come across the word "septuagenarian". I still can't pronounce it, but it gave me a marvelous idea. I will post a list of strange words and I challenge you, my beloved readers, to find their definitions. But be forewarned, I will plant some awesome but non-existent words to throw you a curve.
1. Septuagenarian
2. Parabola
3. Pecuniary
4. Xenophobe
5. Yeoman
6. Nomenclature
7. Moiety
8. Pwagmatasquamsetport
9. Nihilism
10. Ziggurat
11. Quasar
12. Chikalawamflabble
13. Quotidian
14. Soliloquy
Now, go enlarge your vocabulary!
