Revelation...

So, a sweet and short post as I reveal,  as promised, the meanings of the words in my 'word collection'. And congratulations for those of you who already knew one or two of them, please go ahead and enjoy that sensation of being a clever-clogs. Here is illumination:

Sesquipedalians   - multi-syllable words

Spelunking - exploration of caves.

Tchotchke - (pronounced chach-kuh) a trinket/knick knack.

Tyromancy - the divination of the future by reading coagulation of cheese.

Discombobulate - having your composure disturbed, a state of confusion.

Limn - to depict by drawing, to portray in words, describe.   

Obstreperous - noisy and stubbornly defiant, unruly, boisterous.

Bombinate - to buzz, hum.


and finally (and possibly my favourite):
