I Gotta Do It.

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I don't know if ARCANE is the right word for it but there are exact words I use once in a blue moon, and I can never recall what they are. I need one of them now. The word is a verb for a particular movement a gull makes in flight prior to shitting on your head.

So I need to create a glossary of infrequent words.

Like this but particular rather than specific.

That list sounds like a Jack Vance vocabulary.

My favorite list of obscure words is Mrs. Byrnes:

Thanks for the reference! I don't like to season prose with strange words but occasionally the weird word is the right word. And when the perfect word sits on the tip of my tongue for 2 days plenty of time is wasted.

PURCHASE is the word I forgot. As it relates to gulls its the act of pulling air across its wings to stay aloft in a stationary position (to shit on you).
