I thought it would be fun to see who can come up with the weirdest words defined in the dictionary?? Use actual words, don't just make them up!


Here is one to start it off:

defenestrate

verb
throw through or out of the window; "The rebels stormed the palace and defenestrated the President"

every chemical name has to use every element in the name. That chemical just has several elements. Scientits just pieced the name togather.
