# Hahahaha, yes!
Elsewhere, I happened upon the word 'absquatulate'. It is a fine word and shall be receiving some serious usage as soon as possible. Wastrel isn't half bad either.

Anyone else have any favourite words?

Looked it up but never got the chance to use it.

# Tmesis - yes! I heard about that in QI I think. The only word that starts with 'tm...'
The others are classy too, especially cat, but I've never heard of quiniela or peristalsis. *Researches*

# oh you'll know peristalsis
quiniela got me my highest ever Scrabble score for a single play - 212 points I think

pah - I knew what tmesis was before QI!

# I wrote a piece for two marimbas called Tmesis that nearly got performed all around the country.
That's my "interesting" story. Great word.

# Yes, you're right. Having looked it up, I do remember peristalsis from the school lessons of yesteryear.
Top work getting into a scrabble game, that's quite a trophy!
