When learning new vocabulary, I'm sure everyone has thought "I will never, ever use this word, so why do I need to learn it?" Simply put: You don't. Don't learn words that teachers and friends try to teach you. Instead, learn these.

These words are taken from a list of "20 Weird English Words," which can be found on the website The List Universe. I've gone ahead and provided these for you, so you can awe your friends during beer pong, and wow your English teachers in essays about "Macbeth." Here are my top 10 choices to help you accomplish this:

10) Finnimbrun- a trinket or knick-knack.

            Ex. "My, what a nice finnimbrun you have."

9) Lamprophony - loudness and clarity of voice.

            Ex. "Excuse me, could you please raise your lamprophony?"

8) Mesonoxian- pertaining to midnight

            Ex. "We'll meet at the dock, say around, mesonoxian?"

7) Nudiustertian - the day before yesterday

            Ex. Susie says to Johnny, "When is the project due, Johnny?"

                 Johnny replies, "Nudiustertian."

                 Susie says, "Oh No!"

6) Phenakism - pertaining to deception or trickery

            Ex. "Are you trying to phenakism me?"

5) Pulveratricious - covered with dust

3) Scopperloit- rude or rough play

2) Tyrotoxism- to be poisoned by cheese (Does this really happen so much that it needs its own word?)

            Ex. Jim says, "How did he die?"

                Lynn says, "Tyrotoxism."

                 Jim says, "Oh, how sad."

            Ex. "This word list sure is floccinaucinihilipilification."

The words in this list really are the most useless words in the entire world. While they may at times seem as useless as the show "That's Amore," they may come in handy sometimes. So look this list over, log it away, and thank me later.
