Without a doubt, the English language is one of the richest languages out there. With more than 750,000 words to date, it can also be a bit strange. From homophones to confusing idioms<\/a>, a lot of English words and expressions are pretty weird.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re focusing on the weirdest of the weird English words we could find. Some of these words look odd on paper. A lot of them are just funny when you say them out loud. Either way, all of them are well worth adding to your vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Before you ask: yes, all of the following words actually exist. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

\"whispering\"<\/p>\n

Weird English Words You Can Use Every Day<\/h2>\n

Gobbledygook, Gibberish<\/strong>
\nWhen people talk nonsense, they talk gobbledygook. <\/i><\/i>Their words have zero meaning to you and you have no interest in hearing them speak. Quite frankly, you may also just be bored to death by whatever they\u2019re saying in that moment.<\/p>\n

“Did you hear the director\u2019s speech in the meeting? What a bunch of gobbledygook! I couldn\u2019t understand a thing he was saying!”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Similar to gobbledygook, gibberish<\/i><\/i><\/i> is used to describe something that makes no sense or words that don\u2019t even sound like English.<\/p>\n

“Piece of advice, darling: Don\u2019t listen to Dan. He talks a lot of gibberish.”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Kerfuffle<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s say you\u2019re having a disagreement with someone. You could say you\u2019re having a fuss<\/i> or problemover something. Well, that fuss<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i> is also called a kerfuffle <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i>in English.<\/p>\n

“Chill, dude. I\u2019m just joking. What\u2019s the kerfuffle about?”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Snickersnee<\/strong>
\nSnickersnee<\/i> might sound like something funny. On the contrary, it\u2019s actually a weird English word used to describe a long, dangerous knife. Linguists have said this word is slowly becoming obsolete, so now is your chance to keep it alive and share something unique in your next group chat.<\/p>\n

“Goodness gracious, Jack\u2019s snickersnee looks like it could kill a dragon!”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Bibble<\/strong>
\nWe bet you\u2019ve experienced someone bibbling<\/i> near you at least once in your life. Hmmm\u2026 maybe you\u2019re the one that likes to do it. Have you ever met anyone who likes to chew very loudly when eating their favourite food? Yes? Well, what this is called bibbling.<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

“Argh, I wish these two at the table behind me would just stop bibbling! It\u2019s so irritating!”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Abibliophobia<\/strong>
\nThis one is hard to pronounce, we know. Abibliophobia<\/i> is a word that may just describe you perfectly. It is used to describe the fear or running out of things to read. So, are you abibliophobic?<\/p>\n

“No new book releases in the library?! Oh no, my abibliophobia is kicking in! Please tell me this isn\u2019t true. You\u2019re just messing with me, right? Oh, God\u2026 What am I gonna do?!”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Flibbertigibbet<\/strong>
\nAlthough it looks like a rare and killer word at a Spelling Bee competition, flibbertigibbet<\/i> is actually used quite a lot in everyday English. It is used to describe someone who is silly, chatty and just can\u2019t stop talking.<\/p>\n

“Does Sarah ever stop talking? She\u2019s such a flibbertigibbet.”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Pauciloquent<\/strong>
\nA pauciloquent<\/i> person is actually the complete opposite of a flibbertigibbet. This word is used to describe a person of few words, someone who doesn\u2019t talk much or is very unlikely to give a long speech, even if it\u2019s their turn to give one.<\/p>\n

“Nice to meet you. I\u2019m Danny. I\u2019m pauciloquent.”<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

When you think about it, knowing today\u2019s weird English words and actually using them in a conversation can be beneficial for even the most pauciloquent<\/em> of people out there. Try it out!<\/p>\n

Why Learn Weird English Words?<\/h2>\n

You might be thinking to yourself: how can I ever benefit from knowing these strange words? Here are several reasons why.<\/p>\n

Increasing your vocabulary is always useful. <\/b><\/b>If there is one universal truth to language learning, it is that one can never know too many words. Listening to native speakers can sometimes be confusing if you don\u2019t have a rich vocabulary. So, understanding just one more word will certainly help.<\/p>\n

You now know one more (fun) way to explain something.<\/b> Everyday conversations with friends, family and colleagues just got easier. Instead of describing something in plain ol\u2019 (boring) English when you\u2019re talking, why not make it interesting and use a new word? Heck, your friends might actually learn a word or two from you.<\/p>\n

You get excellent conversation and writing practice.<\/b> Weird English words often have strange syllable combinations and are difficult to pronounce. This gives you a chance to master their spelling and improve your pronunciation and writing skills.<\/p>\n

Learning something others don\u2019t know is always cool.<\/b> Chances are most English speakers don\u2019t know or have never heard of today\u2019s weird English words. So, welcome to the rarest of English learning clubs!<\/p>\n
