Probably all those "ment" words. I, too, look forward to your review. I read Evelyn Waugh many years ago, but not this one.Margothttp://joyfullyretired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-79109136025776390142009-07-08T15:30:37.317-04:002009-07-08T15:30:37.317-04:00Oh and inmayonnaisejarment is a great neologism!Oh and <i>inmayonnaisejarment</i> is a great neologism!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-35113131291281556252009-07-08T15:29:19.635-04:002009-07-08T15:29:19.635-04:00I can explain why Kathy knew catafalque when she s...I can explain why Kathy knew <i>catafalque</i> when she saw it! It's been mentioned a couple of times in WWW posts before... (It's not a bad thing to mention it again; it certainly helps me remember what these obscure words mean!)<br /><br />You found so many good words this week! I wasn't familiar with most of them. I especially like this sentence: ""Normal disposal is by inhumement, entombment, inurnment or immurement..." Three for the price of one!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-84253724553013736312009-07-08T10:48:38.543-04:002009-07-08T10:48:38.543-04:00Okay, "inmayonnaisejarment" made me laug...Okay, "inmayonnaisejarment" made me laugh out loud.

And yes, I love reading books with a specialty because it often opens me up to a whole new vocabulary<br /><br />Your list was really hard!

I'm sure I could never have called one by it's name, though. I'll be looking for your review of The Loved One - it sounds rather creepy. Thanks for participating.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
