Here is a new word for you Alfredo. It is a Welsh word! Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. I doubt you could even say it let alone spell it. (True not a joke)

@amadeo It is the name of a village in Wales. Translated it means "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave"
Very interesting:
There is a joke about a tourist who was in a restaurant in the town. She asked the waitress if she could tell her very slowly the how to pronounce the name of this place.
The waitress said very slowly. B-u-r-g-u-r K-i-n-g..

You forget we are so smart and so many years of 'smarts' and words in our head that we have to dig through them to get them out!

sometimes I do, most I forget..and some I remember. I ran across the Portuguese word Obridgado recently and it means Thanks. I thought that was interesting because there is an Obrigado restaurant in town. It has decent food.

I'm trying to use words I'm not used to using in my writing. It helps to remember to use them in everyday life.

i like to combine new words, though i already know some, like 'frenemies, chillax' to name a few.

You need to use them every day so you won't forget. But it doesn't work for me. Hahaha. Sadly, I tend to forget things easily.

I try, but if I can't use it in any way, soon it's forgotten.

Sometimes I learn new words.
I used to play look up a word and see what it means with my grandchildren. They had fun doing that.

My senior year in high school, the English teacher was a stickler about teaching us new words. Every week she'd give us ten new words to look up in a dictionary and learn. Some of those terms, I've never seen them used once! Other words she gave us, I use them at times.

My paw was always teaching me new vocab words!! One of the his favorites was surreptitiously which we learned last year!! And I see this word in many a newspaper!!! That is why I always got 100 and straight A's on every spelling test in school!!!!!
