I oncet had a Architectural History professor who often used the terms "tumbledy-down" and "higgledy-piggledy" to describe buildings, i.e. "Here we have an American interpretation of a tumbledy-down English cottage." and "Note how the turrets and spires are piled up all higgledy-piggledy, to give the church an asymmetric silhouette." They remain two of my favorite words, even if I can rarely find a use for them.
And I thought the Sherwood Personality Test was great fun.
