Or word of the day? I don't know. XD I just felt like sharing some of my favorite words.

Floccinaucinihilipilification-to judge something as valueless

Defenestration-to throw something out of a window

...And who here, after reading these words, knows what Demyx Time is?

i just don't know what the hell those words meant.. O.O and what is the meaning of demyx time?

....Those are real words? *googles them*

If they were random words ya came up with, then sure... But those were real???

they are real yes xD for the second it's sure, but the first i'm not sure è_é

Some people try too hard to get new words into the dictionary no one would use @_@

I mean whats the point of these words >.> You cant use them 99% of the time, not even in an novel.

I mean...

In an act of anger, he defenestrated the keys.

Looks so weird xD Maybe not so much but I cant think of a way to use phillita.... erm... nvm.

I can understand words who looks tough difficult that has deep meanings like Cessation, bereavement.

But defenestration, throwing something out of the window? ._."

English just got weirder for me. Anyone has any justification to the practicality of these words >.>? I am looking to learn something ^^ Hopefully you dont feel offended by my wall of text.

defenestration is for somebody xD the first time I've seen this word is in "Scream" If my remember is good, it's Sarah michel gellar who was defenestred xD

Actually, defenestration is quite commonly used in history books. It normally refers to throwing someone out of the window, not something. Since there are many examples in history of people being murdered that way, the term was created.

And here's my word of the day. It's one of the very rare English words that originates in Japanese, but is not commonly associated with Japan at all.

The word is tycoon.

It comes from taikun, the title Japanese shoguns used for themselves in diplomatic correspondence. "Tai" in taikun means "big" or "great", and "kun" is actually very familiar to any reader of manga as a name suffix, usually for boys. One of its now obsolete meanings is "monarch, ruler, sovereign".

Yes, that word is real.

Of course, if you do throw someone out of a window, you can say, "you just got definisized, bi-atch!"

Demyx Time is an almost-not-quite parody of Kingdom Hearts. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP5idhAKtO0

Here's another one: Alektorophobia-the fear of chickens.
