The Word Around Us

Words are my hobby, business and obsession. On this page you'll find various eebahgum articles about language, as well as my Weird Words—obscure words guaranteed to baffle strangers, impress your friends, terrify small children and make you a hit at parties. Weird Words is derived from my old Word for The Week emailings, now reborn and updated. Enjoy!
