Words are delicious

I make lists of all the words I don’t know on a pending list to find their meaning and lately, all of the words I am discovering are sounding delicious. Maybe it's because I'm quite hungry..they sound like you could eat them....anyway. I'm not quite sure how I will squidge them into conversations, though.


These words are from the book “the Shipping News” by E. Annie Proulx (you can find them in other places as well)

Words:

Phantasmagoria
Ingratiatingly
Elusive
Sumptuous
Prodigious
Ostentatiously
Overwraught
Nonpariel
Evasion
Portent
Asunder
Allusion

Yum yum.
