I like words. I know a fair few of them. I want to know more. What are your favorite esoteric words?

    Was The Sound of Music only popular in the US? I’d assumed it was also popular in Europe given the setting.

    Also, this word was an exercise in the gifted classes I got put in in elementary school. The idea was to try to spell it without looking it up.

      I don’t know about The Sound of Music (I’ve only seen clips) but supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was popularized here (and maybe elsewhere) by Mary Poppins.

        Am I mixing up the movies maybe? It’s quite early here so my brain may not be working at 100%.
