Sometimes what we say is overshadowed by what our mind thinks we've said. We've been taught there are certain words that shouldn't be used in polite company. Then there are words that are perfectly harmless in meaning but their similarity to naughty words will raise an eyebrow or two if you utter them out loud. Since we are in the business of words I thought it would be fun to introduce 5 more unique words into your vocabulary. Just be careful if you say them in front of your Mother.

    Ulotrichous

    You might remember your Mom telling to keep yours covered up unless you're being seen by a doctor. Nah, that's not it. This word means hair that is wooly like a sheep. Okay, I get it, that's why they make razors.

    Impignorate

    I bet you've already pictured a Mississippi farm boy, a pig, and a compromising situation haven't you? Well, get that thought out of your mind. Impignorate means to pawn or mortgage something. It has nothing to do with pork in any sense of the word. Unless you're pawning a pig.

    Winklepicker

    You might think this word is defined by what Michael Jackson would do with his hands while dancing. Nope. It has nothing to do with personal adjustments at all. A Winklepicker is actually a style of shoe with very pointy toes. It was popular in the 1950's when people raised in good homes didn't have the kind of thoughts we have today.
