Jactation
Pretty simple word with two related meanings.... ya,we will get back to it . Well, etymologically jactation comes from Latin "jactatare" which means 'to throw' and the pronunciation of the word goes like \jak-tey-shuhn\ !!
Dictionary meaning (noun) --1. Restless tossing of the body
2. Boasting and bragging
Example sentence -- His headache after the semester exams had grown so severe that he tossed this way and that way by jactation.
Fun description -- As there are two meanings so I will give two situational descriptions for both of them !!
Fun usage for the first meaning goes like this ::--- You got that call in the wee hours of morning t from which a husky grey voice comes up and says " You are going to live only for the next 7 days and after that I will send you to hell ... just get your wishes fulfilled as soon as possible as you have very less time left" and then the frightened you yelling on your receiver " hallo... haalo... haaallloooo" but no use as the line is already disconnected . Then you lay down on your bed ... trying to sleep but in vain as whenever you close your eyes you see a 7ft 200 pounds man with black mask squeezing your throat to death with his 50pound arm !! That's when you start tossing on your bed in jactation !!
(well.... needless to mention that a running stomach can also keep you jactating for long:P)
Now the fun situation for the second meaning is something like this -- You are newly admitted in that college and a guy came up and sits besides you and starts speaking -- " hey... I am xyz and you know what .....actually I was not in mood to get admitted here. Just watch out this whole place... it's is so filthy... man its has no standard . Even my bathroom is way cleaner than this classroom. Actually this college was built by my great grandfather ... so you know just keeping him in mind I am here. By the way did you see my new car.... its shiny man... the new Porsche out there in the market.... and .... and ....... and....." and on the other side you are frustrated and irritated to the core ( wish you had a pair of cotton ear bud to get rid of his superfluous jactation)
P.S.-- I don't wanna do any more jactation here.... it's time for you to jactate about it !! :)

#11--chicanery
chicanery
All you tricksters out there ... don't feel dejected even if your tricks are not working because now there is a word for you. Yes, this word is dedicated to all of them who don't prefer the hard way and always search shortcut's for easy gains . Etymologically this word comes from French chicaner meaning '' to use tricks " and German schicken meaning "to arrange" and the pronunciation of the word goes like "shih-key-nuh-ree". Now lets head to the meaning.
Dictionary meaning (noun)-- The use of tricks to deceive someone (usually to extract money from them)
Example sentence -- Even if you resort to such chicanery you will be able to extract only 55 cents from me ... that all I have in my bank account !!
Fun description -- Such a pleasant word to make peoples pockets light . Yes.... I support chicanery but with bias . Remember that big fat businessman in your neighborhood who has always parked that posh car infront of your door knowing that you won't get it !! Its times to use some nice underhand chicanery to get his money out and get him in line. Remember that rich bully at your school who never got into the school bus and gave you that condescending look ... I wish you knew not only the word but the use of chicanery then. Lastly remember the cute girl you were going to propose but you backed off because her personal bathroom was of the size of your bedroom. Now... this time you don't wanna use any chicanery ..... you loved the her didn't you ?? :)
P.S. -- Well... against whoever you use chicanery I don't mind... but please don't use it against me!! (and I don't have much bank balance either :P)

#10-- idioglossia
idioglossia
This word is the encryption of human language. Yeah.... it makes language incomprehensible. We will come back to it later. Etymologically idioglossia comes from "idio" which means "particular to one" and "gloss" which means "tongue". So, if you add the roots then it becomes toungue language particular to an individual. See...its all about integration. And the pronounciation of the word goes like \id-ee-uh-GLOS-ee-uh\ ....as simple as that.
Dictionary meaning (noun) -- 1. A private form of speech invented by one child or by children who are in close contact, as twins.
2.A pathological condition in which a person's speech is so severely distorted that it is unintelligible.
Example sentence -- Both of you just leave your idioglossia and speak in our language.
Fun description -- Well... idioglossia is cool and can save your ass in many situations .... for example lets say you have the viva test of biology and teacher asks you that complex question regarding the structure of central nervous system.. then you reply " !@$%^!@#*(^^%%^&! " ... then your teacher will say -- "what the hell are you speaking ?? " ... then you reply " Ma'am I suffer from severe idioglossia(2nd meaning) .. actually I am speaking the right answer but you can't get me because my speech is severely distorted "..... having said that you just start praying to god that your teacher believes you :P
Then again ... lets say you are a great grandson of sherlock holmes and you went to solve that complex murder mystery in the uptown then while interrogating your suspects your can communicate in idioglossia with your single hot personal secretary while she take notes so that no one can understand what you both are speaking. (well... the secretary being single and hot is not compulsory :P)
So.. that's how it goes ...idioglossia encrypts your language !!
P.S. -- "#$%^^&#!@%^&#!#%***^!#%&&".... ah! never mind that was my idioglossia !! :)
