I'm here today to talk about some of the weird, funky things in the English language. To start with, we have some crazy names from www.babycenter.com.
Weird Names
Parents have had some weird notions over the years. One couple went so far to name their baby Unique, and her sister, Eunique! These girls have names from Harpa to JuJu, Mahogony
to Melrose. Some babies are named after how they acted (see Judge and Moody) and others after things their parents must have loved (Rhythm). Let us take a moment to mourn for those who will be forever called Vino and Veggo.
Weird Words
Has someone ever asked you if you were currently grimthroping a building? Or maybe if your acnestis needed to be scratched? There are plenty of weird words out there. Some you might be more familiar with, but saying ragamuffin or hullabaloo never gets old. Here are some weird word definitions:
Agelastic:(noun) A person who never laughs
Bouffage:(noun) An enjoyable or satisfying meal
Grinagog: A person who is constantly grinning
Jehu: A person known for fast or reckless driving (Jehu was the king of Israel in the nineteenth century, known for his crazy chariot driving.)
Matutinal: Active and wide-awake in early morning hours
Zugzawang:(noun) A disagreeable position in which a chess player is obliged to move but cannot without disadvantage
These weird words are from www.antimoon.com.
Well, that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed learning more about our crazy, confusing language.
