Gingivitis
Chloroplasts
Gibberish

No. It's a whale reference. I loved learning about "blubber oil" in seventh-grade social studies.
But Judy Blume taught me about the menstrual cycle, so I can't diss her too much. Yeah, I said "diss." One of my least favorite words.

And why won't Blogger (capital "B") allow me to capitalize the "C" in "Cara"? Jesus. Will it also block me from using dashes (in lieu of dots) in telephone numbers?

I share your pain, Cara. Maybe if we all pull together we can take on the Blogger man.
Nice choices, Phys. Penultimate is one of my faves, too.
I've always thought it should be spelled "dis," as the verb is a shortened form of "to disrespect." Thoughts?

My favorite non-word is disorientated because what better way is there to express the feeling of disorientation than to use a non-existant word.
