I really like finding strange words that are new to me. I often share them on Medium, haven't so much here, but I'll dig up a few more. I'm so glad you're here to appreciate them.

Dear Maryan, thanks for your feedback. I had a lot of fun trying to write some of those … can’t remember the name right now but I think I will continue to fool around with it. Thanks for this bit of knowledge. Take care. Randy.

Love the word although it will take some practice to remember it. Also seems to be something used by comedians. Great word !!!! Thanks.
