1. Kerfuffle
2. Snoutfair (a good-looking person..."George, you really are a snoutfair. HEY, DON'T HIT ME! IT'S A GOOD THING!")
3. Lugubrious
4. Turpitude (NOTE: I would not be at all opposed to joining a band called "Lugubrious Turpitude." Nor would I object to reading a book in which the villain is named Lugubrious Turpitude.)
5. Brobdingnagian (something really big)
6. Withershins (also sometimes rendered "widdershins," meaning counter-clockwise)
7. Snollygoster (used mainly of politicians, meaning a person not guided by moral principles)
8. Bumfluff (a British word I just learned, apparently refers to hair growing where it's not supposed to be or not wanted...and honestly, just a fun word to use all around, even as an epithet: "Oh bumfluff!")
9. Hemidemisemiquaver (a 64th note in music. Not that common, which is just as well considering how much energy you use in saying it.)
10. Zyzzyva (a type of tropical weevil, but more importantly, the last word in many English dictionaries...I love the fact it even exists.)
