We might enjoy more salubrious speech after imbibing a fifth on the firth of Forth.

Frazzle, balderdash, mishmash, muckamuck, huckleberry, razzle dazzle, sesquipedalian. I loved tsuwm's recent word, "spizzerinctum." There is a medication that I've always liked, and, indeed, a patient once named her baby after it: "deladumone"

I have to admit, my favorite word "epicaricacy" hardly "rolls off the tongue...."

I just saw this one today: frission. Nice. Better than fission, though that's nice too.

frission

I've heard tell of (actually read) frisson, but not the one with the extra yod.
