Is there a word you're anxious to slip into a casual conversation

but the opportunity to do so hasn't yet materialized? Words like zugzwang or quincunx?

I once read a novel called The Quincunx, so I've already used that one!
@DrWatson

I've been working on a crossword puzzle of my own for years. In each of the 4 corners, together with the middle square, the design of this rebus crossword allows for the placement of a decimal/dot/spot/point/period to approximate the quincunx face of a gaming die.

For example: the span that runs top to bottom through the middle square has as its clue "Cheetahs and servals, for example". The 15 squares would include a period which would mean "spot" so the answer would look like this:

african.tedcats (African spotted cats).

I've seen that word everywhere but on SW 😁
Possibly.
But those are not them. 🤨
@bijouxbroussard

Would indefatigable be one of those words? Maybe ersatz? Trumpalicious?
@rinkydinkydoink The first two I’ve used. The third I can’t even imagine. 😅

Seems to me, most of us on SW were miscreants. Some way worse than others!
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
@rinkydinkydoink yup it's Welsh, I believe it's the longest place name in the world

If you're really curious you can go onto YouTube and listen to a weatherman in Wales nail the pronunciation 😂
@BlueGreenGrey

My maternal grandfather was Welsh. I never knew him seeing as he died in 1912.

Anyhoo, I'll give this weatherman a listen when time permits :D
@BlueGreenGrey

LOL - - I was typing this: "welsh weatherman pronouncing" into the YouTube search bar and it guessed I was looking for "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" !!

You're not joking. I just googled this and was surprised to learn it's "a widely known quote from Avengers: Infinity War".

@rinkydinkydoink no I’m just being nice. I can’t do anything without your birth year anyway.
