In another thread, WO'N used this word. I instantly recognized it as German, but had to search for the definition: shunning and social avoidance. I think it's a delightful word, but I'd never heard it before.
This got me to thinking that there were probably plenty of foreign words that have become part of the the English language but are still very rarely used. What other obscure foreign words do you know of?
