Miriandra, this is a fun topic! I knew fenestration was related to windows and it brings up a good memory. A friend of mine who was in IT tech support before she retired told me a story of how, when someone's computer was really messed up, she'd tell them it needed a complete defenestration. They'd say ooh, what's that? and she'd say, it needs to be throw it out the window. [Ruth, that was NatsFan.]

I agree, Badger, it is fun. I'm learning all kinds of new words!

perspicacious - having an insight and understanding of things

rixosous- quarrelsome or prone to arguing

TUDICULATE- to pound or bruise something.

VALENTINING-the singing of mating birds in the spring. (A good one for Valentines Day)

xystus: covered walkway for exercises

ZAWN- an isolated sandy inlet or cave in a coastal cliff

A very fun topic!
