All the words so far are fairly common around my neck of the woods, except perhaps Joe Cuddy, I only know a Jack Cuddy.

My contribution is "oft" which bizarrely has often been dropped in favour of the longer version.

spurious

Often used in the automotive industry/world when referring to 'copies' of OEM car parts, ie 'spurious parts'

"The spurious parts also display logos, trademarks, packaging and, at times, even holograms of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), claiming to be the genuine/OEM part of the vehicle manufacturer. These parts also advertise themselves such as “Made for ….. (Brand Name)”

You should check out Susie Dent's twitter, lots of lost words.

Word of the day is ‘smellfungus’ (19th century): a habitual grumbler who will find fault in anything and everything
Word of the day is 'quisquilious' (17th century): 'worthless' or 'trivial'; an obscure and rather beautiful way to describe something as rubbish.
Word of the day is ‘clinomania’: the excessive desire to stay in bed.

And so on...

Crapulence

Easily the most amazing synonym for “hungover,” crapulence comes from the Latin word crapula, which just means “hungover.”

Why we thought saying “I’m super hungover” sounded better than, “I’m completely crapulent right now,” I will never know.

I think we should bring it back.

Haven’t heard ‘cat malogen’ used in a long time.
