Words You Never Heard!

    Because I have a hard time remembering street names, I tend to use landmarks when giving directions.   But here are some REAL street names that would be pretty hard to forget:   How would you like to live on Psychopath Road or Dumb Woman’s Lane?  What about Divorce Court, Slack Bottom Road or Toe Jam Hill?  What’s a word for having a tendency to forget names?  Lethonomia!   Tickle Tongue Road, Booger Branch Road, and Woman Hollering Creek Road are all roads I don’t want to go down. In New Jersey, the folks in charge of naming roads must not have been able to decide on a name for what is now known as No Name Street.  What’s a word for the inability to come to a decision? Hypobulia!

The dewlap is a small fleshy appendage that hangs down near the throat area of a goat and a wasty is a goat that is too fat. In France, goats are called chevons.   Did you know that while sheep say baaah, goats say maaah!
