Naivety

I forgot how it’s spelled lol, as sometimes I find some common English and Romanian words and the spelling is a little bit different, but that’s all.

Speaking of naivety, I used to be quite naive, often, maybe some naivety still lingers in my system (which may not be a bad thing, considering that it could boost or help other positive traits and sustain self improvement, although maybe indirectly).

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

This is the disease I am diagnosed with :cold_sweat:

It’s a medical term but still probably the longest word I heard. It’s a terminal disease in which benign tumours grow anywhere in your body till they kill you through growing into lungs or brain or any other place where they become fatal.

dactyloscopy - identification by comparison of fingerprints
centuplicate - to make 100 times as many
widdershins - moving counter-clockwise or moving in the wrong direction (any potterites recognize this one?)

Willy Widdershins was a British wizard known for engaging in Muggle-baiting pranks. Some of his pranks included enchanting toilets in Muggle areas to regurgitate. Due to his actions, he was arrested by the Ministry of Magic but he made a deal with the Ministry to spy on Harry Potter and his friends in exchange for his release. Willy Widdershins was involved in reporting the organizational meeting of the D.A. (Dumbledore’s Army) to Professor Umbridge.

That’s Quite the collection. :grin:

Let’s hope some Potter fans come with some other gems.:grinning:

Quite a few works of fiction have Amazing made up words, Buffy verse/Whedonverse has some interesting and unique words (cant come up with anything right now, maybe later).

Edit:

Didn’t know the word. Thank You.:gun: :sweat_smile:
