I just learned some new words, which makes me excited, especially because I like to play Scrabble and work crossword puzzles:
tawse - a leather strap slit into strips at the end and used especially for disciplining children
hygroscopic - readily taking up and retaining moisture
anadromous - ascending rivers from the sea for breeding
catadromous - living in freshwater and going to the sea to spawn
agromania - intense desire to be in open spaces (an intense form of spring fever, perhaps?)
cancrine - of, like or pertaining to crabs
hieromania - pathological religious visions or delusions
quoz - absurd person or thing (This is a very good word for Scrabble.)
