Dont let the words die!!!!!

[hestan101]

well, in conjunction with all the archaic language being used lately id thought id start up a thread about it. this is the first one. the first one. dont let others lie to you!!!! the idea is t put up words which are going out of use, sound funny or are just plain random. so here we go
olid.............................. foul smelling
confuzzled.................... confused yet at the same time puzzled
discombobulated..................... see above

Its not much i know but hopefully it can grow

A.k.a. \"boneshaker\", for obvious reasons.

Hmm, words...
