What new words have you learned recently?

[Paulos G]

Today I read a report about the best practice for looking after dentures. Through that I learned the word “edentulism” which basically means toothlessness.

I love coming across new words and meanings. Anyone else a bit of word fan? And have a crush on Susie Dent? Oops. Did I type that out loud?

OK, so we've had it on the forum for years, I just love DT's reactions to it.

Incel. Genuinely only came across this word for the first time relatively recently, only for it to prove highly relevant in a recent bizarre saga of a post.

Perineum

I thought I was the only one....

subitizing - to visually recognise a number of objects.

integral - contextually, an integral number = an integer. nothing specifically to do with calculus in this case.

Pocillovy. Basically, eggcup collecting. Heard it on Bargain Hunt yesterday, what a strange word.

Concatenate

Someone told me to concatenate something in Excel. No only did i not know it did this, I'd never heard the word before.

I learned a disgusting word. Probably best not to share.

Ages ago you had to use the Concatenate formula, now you don't have to use and can string together with just '&'.

Come to Scotland, we have lots of disgusting new words we can teach you.
