are clearly WAY smarter than me. Today I learned 3 new words! sebum--the stuff that causes oily hair and skin (lovely, right?) threnody--an elegy dishabille--dressed casually or carelessly
Funny thing, the contest was to create portmanteau words and someone created "yiddishabille," and I wasn't even sure if the original word was "dishabille" or "shabille"--that is how unfamiliar I was with it. I guess it's like "disheveled"? Shabille doesn't exist, so I figured it must be dishabille. This is why I don't enter this contest--I wouldn't stand a chance. More power to these people who are apparently experts in the field of obscure words.
