Choir...it's so different. It doesn't look normal regardless of how many times you see it or spell it.

My today's favorite word is ingenious. Its pronunciation is so good.

A new word (well, new to me) I came across today is bivouacked .... now how am I going to get an opportunity to drop that one into general conversation!

I came across it two or three times in the same day recently - inscrutable.

My favorite word today is "moot". It means that whatever point you are trying to make is going to have no effect on the consequence. Right now it is my favorite because my husband always likes to say that I am wrong. His new thing is to tell me that my point is "mute". I tell him that my point is not mute if he heard me. He doesn't get it!

Sitzpinkler. I just finished reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green and he used that word quite a lot. It's a German word that means 'pansy' but literally it means “a man who sits to pee.”

Discombobulated! I actually had never even heard this word until meeting my husband. He used it one day while we were talking on the phone, and I had to ask him what it meant. Ever since then it has been my favorite word. It sounds funny and it really explains how I feel a lot of the time lol
