This page only has twenty-six pieces of inordinate dust on it. Twenty-six little never changing hallelujahs. It’s not a list of twenty-six objects, fashion tips or cool fish. It is not a twenty-six line political statement, stressing us to twenty six breakdowns. Just twenty-six letters.

Sure, they repeat and repeat like a broken record player but each sound is just as good the thousandth time around. If they were any more letters, how awkward would your keyboard look?

There’s a whole book with words explaining words, and sometimes you have to look up descriptions to know what the meanings of the describers are. There are ten letters in the word Dictionary, and an astronomical amount more inside of the object.

But really there are some fantastic words in my language that should really be used in every day conversation. And that, young padawon, is the reason you have clicked on this little blog and begun to scrap the surface of what I think about when I am about to fall asleep at night… or when I’m supposed to be doing my homework... but whatever this is way more interesting and you are still learning so whatever.

1. Harbinger: A person or thing that announces or signals the approach of another

2. Spong: A piece of land in the shape of a tongue.

3. Sisyphean: a task which can never be completed

                    -Based on the Greek story Sisyphus in which there was a king by the name of Ephyra who was punished for chronic deceitfulness. The punishment he was sentenced to was to be compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll down and repeat the action forever.

4. Lycanthropy: The ability to change from human to wolf or vice versa.

                  -Werewolves man. Werewolves

5. Borborygmus: A rumbling or gurgling noise made by the movement of fluid and gas in the intestines.

6. Aphelion: The point in the path of a celestial body (as a planet) that is farthest from the sun.

7. Doodlesack: Old English word with the meaning “Bagpipe”

                   -Those old English people knew what they were doing

8. Ataraxia: A state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquility.

9. Pulchritude: Beautiful, beauty

10. Quagmire: a soft boggy area that gives way underfoot
