Hi Satori
I think Appy61 wanted this thread to be a place for lost words that we would like to see reintroduced to common discourse, as you so correctly put it. Such a correct term that you nicely balance with the word 'peeps' in the same sentence. Perhaps we need to start a new discussion for slang words we want to bring back to replace the 4 letter words ( or Quadriliterals ) so common amongst the uncouth. We could then shout out at an Adam Ant gig ' come back you lazy Mahout and gives us an encore'

This is my bugaboo word that had me utterly stumped as a child, adultery.
An adult is a post adolescent human. The word adultery implies a wrong, a crime a sin or some such thing in the way it is used.
Therefore, there is something criminal or sinful about being an adult? It's just a really weird word.
