Atrabilious's "100 Favorite Words of Mine"

Rare words, unique words, odd words. How many do you know?

Special thanks is due to the Phrontistery (http://phrontistery.info/). The Phrontistery is a great resource for old, underused words…

If you wish to see the definitions for any of these words, look here (http://www.43things.com/things/view/1560279). Find the posts for "First 50" and "51-100." Definitions and rough pronunciation guides are given. Some other meanings, if they are scientific or technical, may have been omitted.
