weird words

Yesterday I was looking up weird words. . . .
 I didn't know there were words for some of these things.

  • Tyrotoxism - to be poisoned by cheese
  •  
  • Nudiustertian - The day before yesterday
  •  
  • Turophile - a connoisseur of cheese; a cheese fancier

  • Gribble - a small marine isopod crustacean that destroys submerged timber. 
  •  
  • Pelf - money, riches
  •  
  • Frittle - a temporary mark on the skin caused by the impression of a textured surface
  • Ort - a morsel left at a meal: scrap
  •  
  • Gormless - lacking intelligence: stupid
