Safe Haven

Teterrimous. A word (meaning) most foul. I adopted it today on savethewords.org, a website collecting and offering sanctuary to a deluge of forgotten and unloved words. A few choice words:

pigritude
pantdress
mulomedic
seplasiary

With such beauties already in existence, there's no need to invent your own (though if that tickles your fancy, don't let me stop you).

If you are a writer, a reader, a speaker, a lover of language, I recommend you check it out and do your part by taking in one of these fallen words. Love it, use it tomorrow in a sentence. Astound friends and family with your burgeoning vocabulary.

In addition to being a generally worthy cause, the website itself is beautifully designed and quite fun to peruse. There is sound, so if you're sharing an office or room with someone, check your speaker volume.
