Words I Enjoy

I used to keep, and regularly update (ehhh...) a list of things I liked. Now I am going to maintain a list of words (and expressions) I enjoy.

Esqimaux: i.e. Eskimo. This the spelling used by John Stuart Mill

Slattern: a prostitute. Usually used as an insult.

Aide-mémoire: a piece of paper used to remind oneself of something, usually in reference to talking points.

Maquillage: makeup or cosmetics, French in origin (obviously).

Obama-fascist: A supporter of Barack Obama, from the neoconservative boogeyman, "Islamo-fascist."
