What is the strangest, weirdest word you have ever heard?
I have a few in my library, but "undergrope" takes the proverbial cake. (It actually is a synonym for understand or comprehend, to grasp or apprehend mentally. But the connotations? Oooooeeee! Breast summer is another. (Dream on guys!) Well, actually, it's only one word, Breastsummer. It means, in timber-building, a beam in the outward part of the building, and the middle floors How about you?
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

Although it's used often enough I still find Cockamamie an odd word.
Other favorites include Hornswoggle, Kerfuffle, & Nincompoop. Hehe..I said poop... |

Widdershins: counterclockwise (anticlockwise for you Brits). The opposite, of course, of deasil.

Really. Perhaps seconded by actually.
Both usually announce the imaginary.

My Dad used to use the word "flabbergasted" all the time, and it always made me laugh. Maybe it was his earnest, Ward Cleaver delivery.

I really like "vomitory".
It's an entrance to an amphitheater or stadium. Look it up. JD |

On topic in so many ways...
Prestidigitation is a great word I have also always liked the words Plethora and Imbibe No idea why
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

...seriously? I will spell it phonetically-ish then... The British(?) words "bullox" and "wane-ker"
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.
