Tittle: The dot over the “i” or “j.” Say this word out loud in class or during an important business meeting without context. See how much of a chance you’re given to explain yourself before being asked to leave.

Purlicue: The space between the thumb and forefinger, which lets you make the “loser” sign on your forehead as well as the less popular “right angle” sign when trying to help others cheat during a math test.

Lemniscate: The infinity symbol. Once used as a name for a competitor to “Infiniti,” the “Lemniscate” never caught on with drivers who didn’t want to be met with blank stares when they told people what car they just bought.

Glabella: The smooth section of the forehead right between the eyebrows as well as the original fist name of the female lead character in the “Twilight” books.

Paresthesia: That prickly pins-and-needles feeling you get when your feet, arms or any body part falls asleep. The fact that it recalls the word “paralysis” does little to alleviate fears when suddenly your leg goes dead for a few seconds.

Vamp: The part of a shoe that covers the front of the foot. Often heard in the very popular retort, “I’m going to shove my vamp up you’re a**.”

Wamble: Both a stomach rumble and an example of what the English language would sound like if all the words were created by three-year-olds.

Creeper: The low, wheeled platform you lie on when working under a car. Called the “creeper” because it also allowed a person to quickly roll under nearby shrubs or patios when following someone.

Brannock Device: The device used to measure your feet at the shoe store. Either that or a “mystery box” secret weapon in a J.J. Abrams series. (“We uncovered the Brannock device! Turns out we all have wide feet.”)

Pilcrow: A paragraph mark. Also, a prescription-addicted bird.

Gynecomastia: Man boobs. Really, once you type the phrase “man boobs” there’s not much more you can say after that.

Dysania: The state of finding it extremely difficult to get out of bed in the morning. Often accompanied with whining, burying your head under the pillow, and insisting that since it has a medical name like “dysania” it means you now have a valid excuse for being late to school or work.
