I have this book called "Depraved and Insulting English:Words to Offend and Amuse," by Peter Novobatsky and Ammon Shea. It's hilarious. Here's a sample:
"creodont /KREE o dont/ n. a primitive, small-brained animal.
handsome suitors she had by the score,
and diamond baubles were all that she wore,
so who could have guessed
that a woman so blessed
would marry a creodont bore?" (it says to compare ephemeromorph)
"ephemeromorph /ef EM er o morf/ n. term used to describe the lowest form of life imaginable, so low they cannot otherwhise be classified.
Evade classification though they might, ephemeromorphs can easily be recognized. They are usually seen blocking intersections with their cars, or, in the subway, clipping their nails while taking up three seats. "
this book is filled with interesting words. i love it. i bought it on my sixteenth birthday, and it has been lost on an off since then. until now. i <3 my new/old book.

I just wanted to comment that if you don't remember me, I'll be sad because I will always remember you as the first and only person to comment on my profile site. I actually tried to respond to you by commenting on my profile but I am figuring out this is not how it works. So now I am commenting effectively, I believe. Which is ironic because I don't really have a comment. But I will try to call someone a creodont. And I will try to wear some baubles, if possible. Also, check this out
