Words that are now obsolete.
"Telephone"
shareStop. So much for information processing.
shareI like crazy words. I'm liable to use a few of these listed in here if I find the occasion where they are perfectly applicable or just the right spice in an analogy. I don't like forcing a 10 cent word but I do like choosing exactly to the right golf club for the swing.
shareAgreed. You just need to be able to excogitate those words at the right moment.
sharelol, yes. But I don't much like the word "excogitate." Sometimes a synonym has connotation or reputation that make it a better choice over its brethren. "Excogitate" doesn't do anything for me that "devise" or "plan" do not. It isn't pleasant to say either. Sounds like a combo of memory loss and vomiting. Looks like a demon's name.
Here is one that I don't like and since people hardly use matches any more, I consider it obsolete (not just out-dated).
Vesta (a match)
