    Poofed

    I remember an old English teacher explaining onomatopoeia to us. She was talking about it lovingly and looking into the distance, she said something like 'The snowflake...poofed..off the windsowsill." She said it was a beautiful way to use words. We all thought she was nuts.

    Just came across the word Quaintrelle

    It's kind of pretentious and could be del boyish. I've no idea how to use it in a sentence? Is it an insult? Is it a compliment? Is it an Instagram model?

    Are you sure it's not a posh brand of toilet paper?

    I'm voting for Terry Pratchett with "embuggerance". It's far too rarely heard.
