1. To throw something (someone) out of a window is to defenestrate. I love this word because it immediately brings some interesting memories to the front, not to mention makes me think of some new things to toss out of a window.
2. Poodle-faker - a young man too much given to taking tea with ladies.

They missed out Blackadder classic 'antidistinctlymintymunty', and the just plain beautiful 'moonboots'.
'Tatterdemalion' (a messy person) and 'slubberdegullion' (someone useless and awful) are pretty damn brilliant though!

My favourite word of the moment isn't a difficult one.
Delicious.
