I love new words, so I enjoyed asking this question last night on Learn a New Word Day.
.
Whenever somebody asks a question like Milton’s, my new words are “Everything counts.”
Because we live in a Kakistocracy where politicians are pettifogging and breaking laws about emoluments, I’ll be protesting tomorrow at a No Kings demonstration in Boston. I’ll be making new words out of this sign:
.
Can you guess what words will be on my sign tomorrow?
When I do the New York Time’s Spelling Bee puzzle …
… I often discover new words. For some reason, today’s pangram (a word that uses all the letters) was very easy for me to see.
Do we need any new words to describe my other images for today?

The words of my protest song will be new to tomorrow’s demonstrators and I hope I get a chance to sing it.

Here’s what I find when I search for “new words” on YouTube:

Thanks to John Koenig, I can use the new word zielschmerz, which I’ve been experiencing.

I’m looking forward to new words in the comments section, below.
Thanks to all who are here for these new words, including YOU!
I subscribe to Word Daily. Today’s word Tensile: capable of being drawn out or stretched. This reminds me of childhood toys the Slinky and, of course, Stretch Armstrong. Imagine the marketing if they went with Tensile Armstrong instead.
Thanks for sharing new and old words, Stan.
Love gardyloo and cornobble. I had learned but forgotten what gardyloo meant, and cornobble seems like something that must have taken place from time to time in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Esemplastic is a word I might use sometime or other, but will probably forget by the time sometime comes around. Too bad. We tend to remember words we use, hear or read often. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that a time to use the word “parure” will ever happen for me. 🙁
Thanks for all your words, Barbara.
I’ll stick to my old reliable words, Ann. They always serve me well.
I appreciate all your words, Mark.
