I have many of these recorded, but not in any one place. here's three that I can get my fingers on:
lurgulary - Mrs. B. defines this as "the act of poisoning water (old English law)"
agnuopia - Charles Elster has "a salacious and submissive stare, the notorious come-hither look" (lamb-eye??)
megalonisus - Mrs. B again, "a tendency to exaggerate"
(probably a nonce-word, from megalo- very large + nisus, endeavor)
---
so Ww, now that we know that Mrs. B. had a tendency to exaggerate, and Elster has admitted to two errors; would you use either of these two as a single source?
