Wowf Words 2

ere's another installment of "Wowf Words". As before, these words are too obscure to be accepted by Mr. Spell Check, but this time I just picked those that stuck me as humorous in one way or another.

Argle-bargle n. the throwing about of words; nonsense.
Cathisophobia n. fear of sitting.
Chaology n. the study of chaos.
Concillabule n. a secret meeting of plot-hatchers.
Dendrophilous adj. loving trees, loving them so much as to live in them.
Empressement n. extreme politeness.
Feck v.i. to discover a safe method of stealing.
Groak v.i. to watch people silently while they are eating, hoping they will ask you to join them.
Hamartithia n. mistake-prone.
Hemeraphonia n. able to speak only at night.
Lethonomia n. tendency to forget names.
Linonophobia n. fear of string.
Logolept n. a word maniac.
Mazer n. 1. a large drinking bowl. 2. the head. 3. a helmet. -v.t. to knock on the head. (Question: How would you even use this word? Certainly not when you're asking for your brother's helmet!)
Musicomania n. a love for music that is so excessive that it can cause mental instability.
Mythomania n. using the letter M incorrectly or to an extreme.
Sciapodous adj. having very large feet.
Snoach v.i. to speak through the nose; to snuffle.
Teknononymy n. naming the parent after the child. (Question: How is that even possible?)
Xylophobia n. a fear of wooden objects; fear of forests. 

Yes, friends, you're right. I'm not completely sane.

Be good. Live Lively.
That is all.

    Hello, Rudolph clan!
    Good post, Nicole! I'm going to have to incorporate these words in my daily life.....hmmm. Be prepared.
    My first sentence:
    Jenna, you, my dear, have musicomania, "B.O.B" you are a sciapodous lad; Nicole, you might just be a self-pronounced logolept; and I myself am linonophobic and often like to groak.
    ;) wahahha, just kidding. . . but still. That is REALLY fun!
