words gone extinct...

in the most recently written Time magazine, there was an article that really caught my attention... it was entitled "War of the Words" and it basically stated that the editors of the popular dictionary in England "Collins" are editing out some words that they feel no one uses anymore... I read the list of words that they listed and they all sound intelligent and fun... so here's the list, and I hope that maybe you can incorporate some of these words into your vocabulary and make this world a more wonderfully wordy place....

compossible - adj. - possible in coexistence
mansuetude - n. - gentleness or mildness
apodeictic - adj. - unquestionably true by virtue of demonstration
caducity - n. - perishableness
malison - n. - a curse
fubsy - adj. - short and stout
embrangle - vb. - to confuse or entangle
niddering - adj. - cowardly
olid - adj. - foul smelling
appugnant - adj. - combative, antagonistic or contrary
roborant - tending to fortify
nitid - bright, glistening

so please choose some (or all ;D) of these words and appear more intelligent than you really are!! :D
