Cool words
Snowleopard:
There are so many words in the English language that aren't
used much anymore - I thought it would be fun to have people put down fun and somewhat obscure words
that they like.
Lour - a dark and threatening sky or a weird looking sky. Can also refer to the way a person looks at you.
Ferntickled - an old term for being freckled
(drats - gotta find my box of writing books.)
OZ:
Lour is a good word. You still run into it now and then spelled lower as in a lowering (louring) sky.
I like the word obstreperous which refers to someone who is not just defiant but is very noisy about it.
Nickeris86:
Lour is good you also told me about Mavin which means master in another thread.
Snowleopard:
My pleasure N86 but what out of the ordinary words do you like.

IIRC, it's the source of the adjective "lowering", which is used in pretty much the same way.
