    Lost for words? Before falling back on your standard, boring vocabularly, why not consider using taking advantage of Thesaurus Day and looking up an exciting alternative?

    Other words for travel disruption, snow, blizzard, closed schools, toboggan ........

    Or do you have a favourite word ?

    I think inaniloquent may possibly be a good word for TLB. ;)

  5. I quite like 'floccinaucinihilipilification' which means to estimate of value something as worthless...........just can't quite find a way to fit it in to a witty sentence right now though ::) ;)

    My other favourite is Plebian (pleb). I was called this by a customer once and didn't find it offensive in any way, once she had explained the meaning!

    The situation arose because at the end if the contract she offered me a bottle of Bollinger and i turned it down in favour of 4 cans of Stella. I think she had a valid point :))

    I'm rather fond of disestablishmentarianism, but rarely do I get a chance to use it in conversation.

    I think 'serendipity' is a good word. Nice one to say :thinking:
