I’ll admit it. I think I’ve used two or three of those words, and none of them in my writing.

Great list. Happy TT!

I know most of those actually. LOL. My favorite word I learned from a romance novel is “Faux Pax” which I gave its phonetic sound until I knew it was French and the x was silent. LOL.
Funny, though, I kind of knew what it meant from its context.

Some of these are new to me, including pukka, which I thought meant something else.

I always love new words, no matter where I’ve learned ‘em… But I did indeed know almost all of these already.

Then again, I spend an awful lot of time on freerice.com, too.

Ciao!
Happy TT!
