I consider myself a fairly well-read person with a more-than-adequate vocabulary. But I confess I'm going to have to look up quite a few of these.

Always love your links BB... thanks for all the "wasted" time over the years!
If you don't mind, I'd like to use your vocabularly post to plug a line of children's T-shirts and onesies my friend Debbie and I launched a couple of months ago.
Called SATees: Big Words for Little Kids (and starring excellent typography via designer Debbie of dglassdes.com), these are simple shirts with ridiculously sophisticated—but nonetheless appropriate—adjectives for children, such as:
dilatory (tending to cause delay)
indefatigable (untiring)
itinerant (wandering)
blithesome (cheeful)
pulchritudinous (beautiful)
recondite (difficult to understand)
...and lots more!
Best of all, you can order as many as you like at

Thanks!
