Defenestration. Throwing someone out of a window. Example the defenestration of prague
I am now adding overmorrow to my vocabulary. I can't wait to confuse the shit out of people I hate.
Something I learnt recently and which is rampant on gay social apps: sphallolalia - flirting that doesn't lead to meeting irl.
Serendipity, idk it sounds cool, "serendipitous" moments happen a lot irl (e.g. forgetting to bring ur wallet with u to the supermarket but minutes later, you end up finding a coin in a random pocket from your jacket to unlock a shopping cart), but it almost only sees its use in fiction, like.....
"Philomot" was always pretty charming. "The color of a dead leaf."
Seems like every time you use it you'll end up having to explain what it means unless you're playing D&D
As long as it's not "used car salesmen" words:
- the ask
- the spend
- action this
It's as discordant as "the above paragraph" or "see the below steps" except with wrong words instead of broken ordering.
perseveration

I agree that we should use overmorrow more. Japanese has a similar word and it gets frequent use.
Many languages have it. English for some reason does not use it
In my country we also have a word for that and it's always used when referring to overmorrow.
Hungarian as well. Tomorrow = holnap, overmorrow = holnapután. You can also stack the ”után" if you so wish, like holnapután-után. But more than that and you will get some curious looks from others :)
I like penultimate, next to last.
I see what you did there
Scrofulous - a) having a diseased run-down appearance. b) morally contaminated
I learned this word when I heard someone being described as a 'scrofulous drinkist' lol
Shemomedjamo - Georgian word meaning to eat past the point of fullness because it tastes so good or as I heard it, "I accidentally ate the whole thing."
