Words, words, words! We love 'em as much as the next person, but were shocked to see how many NYT words we didn't actually know on their list of Most Looked-Up Words from their website. If you do have an inchoate vocabulary and haven't yet indulged in the profligacy of our English language, we suggest you take a look at this list sui generis. But uh—just so we get things straight. Baldenfreude is a ersatz Maureen Dowd word, so don't bother checking your Merriam Webster. Whew. (Buzzfeed)
