If you like words and want to find new ones that are interesting and strange, googlewhack.com is a great source. Took a look today and found these:
tumblehome: The inward curve of a ship's topsides.
medusahead: A grass (Taeniatherum caput-medusae) with long bristly awns that is native to Europe and has become naturalized in western North America.
punditocracy: A group of pundits who wield great political influence.
micromicro: One-trillionth.
What's even more interesting is seeing what words Google considers "real" words (and thus legal for making googlewhacks) and what words aren't legit. For instance, "biologists" isn't in the Google dictionary, but "scuzzbuckets" is.
It appears that something needs some tweaking.
