John Burnett threw one out there not long ago in another post...antediluvian!
I've tried to use it since then, but somehow that term just hasn't made its way into normal conversation... "among BOL posters, Pale is the only antedeluvian."

I'd like you to use them in a sentence together . Once the Coolies caught on to the fact that only a modicum (there's another one!  ) of my posts were anything more than a veiled attempt to get them to involuntarily read either the lottery or Mole-asses!!  joke (or, occasionally, both!  ), interest in reading my posts came to a screeching halt.

For me it's a tossup between molasses and screeching.
Do you really want me to use them in a sentence?
I'd like you to use them in a sentence together .
How about "Shove a spoonful of molasses in that screeching kids mouth, that oughta shut him up."

One of my favorite words ever. I say Oy Vey ALL the time, and Mashuggena is a great one. Of course, It's all yiddish, and I grew up hearing my grandmother use them all the time, so that could have something to do with it.

moot
and forgive me for this but it is "MOOT point" not "MUTE point"
The point is not lacking an ability to speak; it is no longer of significance. Sorry, that is a pet peeve.

I've always loved tarmac (short for tarmacadam) and albumin.
"The emergency shipment of albumin arrived safely! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the plane's wheels touched down on the tarmac."
I also really like wheedle and factotum.
"We have this awesome factotum at the bank and we wheedle her into working Saturdays so we don't have to!"

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a
Hey, that Humuhumunukunukuapua'a just ate a pea. The Humu Picasso Trigger! I am building a 300 gallon saltwater aggressive tank right now. The final two inhabitants will be a Humu and a Crosshatch. I love the Humus. And yes, they will eat a pea.
