I was disappointed that it wasn't just a little tit.

Nah, that’s a titette.

 

[badjak]

Nah, a titty

Other word I like is flummoxed

I like obsequious and onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia....

Remember I am not a native English speaker

I am but live in Georgia! I'm not looking either of those up; nobody else would know what they meant! 🤣

I won’t spoil it for you, but the definition can lead you to other fun words.

I distinctly remember learning the word in 6th grade (11yo) because our teacher explained the meaning of the word, and then we got to sit there and write out as many words as we could think of that fit the definition.

On second thought, that sounds like the kind of schoolwork you give your class when you’re hungover.

Sometimes, surrounded by colonial English speakers and Zambian English speakers, I wonder.....
You all know a table, so vegetables are vege-tables.
To "serve a summons or notice" is to "save a notice/summons" and plenty plenty more.
Add onto this that Zambians can't hear the difference between a "r" and a "l" and you can imagine some of the confusions we get
Cloudy - crowdy
Load. - road
Etc

I like obsequious and onomatopoeia.

Obsequious reminds me of Uriah Heep, in Charles Dickens "David Copperfield". Shylock in the "Merchant of Venice".
And certain politicians kow-towing to the EU....
Onomatopoiea: lovely word! Just think "cuckoo" or "splat".

I love the word demeanor. Always brings a grin to me.

Giggle always makes me giggle, especially when you use it because I know you are referring to Google. But it's still funny!

Well I just assumed it meant "next minute" but yeah, after you posted asking if I looked it up I did, and yeah, it means next minute but I didn't know that the skateboarder dude made it up.

Slubberdegullion
It means a filthy slobbering person. I’ve only used it once and the man in question really was truly awful.
Unfortunately as I muttered it under my breath as he walked away someone I was at a dog show with caught it and asked what it meant.
They laughed a lot and from that day on he was always referred to by everyone as The Slubberdegullion 😬
Fortunately he showed Dandie Dinmonts so we hardly ever bumped into each other.

Good word though, evocative.
