[in my head] \u201csnek.\u201d

I know the word\u00a0\u201csnek\u201d already. Have you got anything else? What about\u00a0\u201cjelrosian\u201d or\u00a0\u201cgrombacious\u201d, what do those words mean?

\n\n

Other words that come to mind:

champ \u2013 a very happy person, basically

dervish \u2013 a person who is very ecstatic and frenzied and moves very quickly and is always doing new and interesting things

dilettante \u2013 a person who loves social activities but isn\u2019t very good at any of them and instead just talks a lot about social activities

equanimity \u2013 being very calm and balanced, and not worrying about things

grog \u2013 hard work, mostly

indolence \u2013 being too tired to do things, or being lazy

maladies \u2013 illness

meditation \u2013 very deep and important thought about stuff

metempsychosis \u2013 reincarnation. i think. this is one of those things that i don\u2019t think is actually a real word but i don\u2019t know what it would be without it

reincarnation \u2013 being reborn, i.e. starting over, like you were born again

shenanigans \u2013 trouble, trouble in the form of physical actions

shoebox \u2013 it just means \u201clittle box,\u201d and I don\u2019t know what it would mean without it

tremendous \u2013 very, very big / very, very bad

tragic \u2013 a serious or sad story

uncanny \u2013 strange, abnormal, grimbark-like, uncanny valley-like

upbringing \u2013 the way that you are raised and taught to act, and the way that your parents raise you and teach you to act (this one is more complicated, but basically means the same thing as \u201cbringing up children\u201d)

wicked \u2013 very evil, really really evil and full of bad stuff, not just a little bad. more like bad-seeming. like, if you\u2019re not wicked then you\u2019re righteous and good and pure

zeliomb \u2013 having babies

zeligoot \u2013 being a baby

zeligreen \u2013 the color green because it\u2019s associated with babies

zesty \u2013 very sharp or keen (a zesty person)

The last word is kind of \u201cchaste-faced.\u201d It just means very good-looking, but in an old-fashioned kind of way, without a lot of makeup or anything. It\u2019s kind of like the original \u201chandsome,\u201d as used by Shakespeare.

I like this exercise and I recommend it
