FWOTD(Funny Word of the Day)... Please hand me that incunabulum(a book printed before 1501).
This category is for all those odd humorous additions to the english language that deserve a little recognition. Incunabulum happens to be the word that inspired this category even though I often come across words of this type and have generally thought it would be fun to give them a place to belong. A place that they might gain a little focus and purpose, even if only briefly, and spark a laugh or two in the process. Since the extent of the reach will be limited to the perusal of those meager few who actually read my writings it will certainly be lacking in its overall effect but I am totally fine with that. I am not one often given to exoteric(<--there's a fun one worth looking up) musings anyway.
I don't have any particular additions to this category at the moment so this will likely suffice my purposes tonight. The mere description of the somewhat long, unfamiliar acronym seemed to be the main need to be addressed here. I tend to be somewhat of a battologist in my writings anyway.
Battologist: Someone who repeats the same thing needlessly or excessively.
(okay... so I did have an addition for tonight... couldn't help myself.)
