Waaayy back on Saturday, I ran a fun and short quiz on a few of the most obscure words in English. I thank and appreciate everyone who took the time to play, or stop by to comment! If you haven’t seen this post and you want to play, don’t look down! Just click on this link first: Wacky Word Quiz
Now you can relax your twitchy fingers, as they’ve no doubt been poised over your keyboard, ready to peck out the words and Google them. 🙂
Now, leave the dishes and let the dog chew on the couch leg for just few moments longer, as you prepare to fill your minds . . . with useless trivia.

Gubbins:
A: odds and ends

Argle-bargle:
C: too much pointless talking or writing

Erf:
B: parcel of land

Cacodemonomania:
C: The belief and fear that one is possessed by an evil spirit.
The gubbins of this post aren’t argle-bargle.

Hi Mark, If I remember correctly, I had 2 out of 4 which isn’t to bad for wacky words.

I’m going to try to remember Gubbins and Argle-bargle. I think those could be useful and understandable in context. That was fun, Mark. 🙂
