The English language is very extensive, there are words for more things than you can comprehend. However, not even the best linguists will know the definitions for some of the words on this list. If you are looking to boost your English knowledge or just impress your friends, this is an informative article to read.
Oneiromancy-
Have you ever dreamt of an event or a situation that has happened in real life? Well, oneiromancy is the divination or prediction of future events through dreams. It may not be used in everyday conversations but you could certainly impress your friends with this unusual word.
An example of its use in a sentence: “Maybe it was a oneiromancy?”
Petrichor-
Petrichor is a beautiful word that is used to describe the scent of rain on dry earth. So next time you are on a walk with the rain pouring around you, make sure you use this word to describe the earthy scent.
An example of its use in a sentence: “The petrichor is so refreshing.”
Natiform-
This word will be useful with this generation’s dirty minds. A natiform is something that resembles a butt. I personally won’t be using this one, but If it ever catches on we’ll be the first ones to know what everyone’s giggling about.
An example of its use in a sentence: “Ha, that is a natiform!”
Grawlix-
Comic enthusiasts might know this one. Grawlix is the series of symbols used to represent swear words in cartoons or in comics.
An example of its use in a sentence: “We need to replace that word with a grawlix,”
Griffonage-
I think everyone has been guilty of this one at some point in their life. Griffonage is careless or ineligible handwriting. I know that you are sometimes in a rush, but try not to have griffonage; it makes it harder for everyone else!
