LOL If you happen across an unusual word, or a word that isn't used often or spelled strangely.....post it here! I think we could all benefit from extra vocabulary and their meanings. Just post them as you find them - along with the meaning. Here are 2 to start with! Neoteric - recent in origin; modern Loblolly - a lout; a stupid, rude or awkward person (this one apparently is of British origin - lol Allyson Elizabeth D'Angelo Ebook-United Tastes of the American Table American Regional Cuisine Site Home Cooking Site Holiday and Seasonal Cooking

It seems to have meant a thick gruel or porridge, and also thick mud or morass. I can see how that would come about. But couldn't find any suggestions for its meaning as a lout. There's also a meaning of medicine, but that could have referred to the consistency of medicinal brews long ago. The loblolly pine? Who knows?

This definition was from the Merriam Webster Dictionary from their Words At Play lists....amusing...here's the link for that page and it's explanation of how that word possibly came about.

I don't drink coffee, but with no glasses everything says blur blur blur blur blur. Or maybe that's blah blah blah blah. Can't even tell for how long I'm supposed to boil the pasta without reading glasses!
