Top 10 lost words[^]
Now I have some new...er...old...words for those Snollygosters in Congress. I hope those Ultracrepidarians become wamblecropt and get feagued.

I shall do everything I can to re-introduce the usage of "Snudge".
Or should that be "everything I can't"?
"Nothing I can"?
"Shan't do something"
"Won't do anything I could?"
Hell, I'll just carry on trying to figure it out for an hour, then go home.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Or, as they're known today, "a politician".

That was my thought when reading that part too

Apparently there was a guy in the UK Parliament with the nickname of "the honest politician" and became so depressed most people thought he was insane.

Why don't we have sprunt-ing nowadays? Terribly disappointed.

Come to our neck of the woods. It's called rape.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I had a different interpretation in mind.

Did you follow the link from "Feague"?
I love the caption: "An eel like this had an adventure"
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Utter crap.
Groak[^]
How can we trust what he says when he cannot even spell the words.
And feague means nothing of the sort, it means to beat.

According to google, which is ALWAYS right, he is correct about feague[^]. Although it also says that as well as an eel, they sometimes used a ginger. So even back in the olden days people bullied redheads.

All we have in Congress is a bunch of ultracrepidarian snollygosters, yet we can only hope they realize we, their constituents, are tired of being wamblecropt nearly to death from all the snudging these feaguing sprunters do.
Then, again, when a vast majority of their constituents gongoozle and groke all day long at the haves vs. have-nots and expect the snollygosters to do something about it when, in fact, they can't nor shouldn't, that only leaves the alert remnant constituency to daily uhtceare, which only drives them to sign-off at the end of the day far beyond that of when Sir Richard has taken off his considering cap.

Also known by the maxim "A watched accountant bills honestly".

Did you really use the two words "accountant" and "honestly" in the same sentence???

Oh never mind, that was a Freudian slip.

Do people even wear slips any more?

I've seen people slipping on wet floor and getting hurt.

But that's more like Newtons 2nd law, now stay on topic!
