I have to admit at being pleased by how many of these words I actually knew. And enjoyed all the many spiffy words that were new to me. My favorite word on this list is "tintinnabulation".
One of my (many) favorite words that didn't make their list is:
uxorious
–adjective
doting upon, foolishly fond of, or affectionately submissive toward one's wife.
First one that came to mind, just randomly. Has nothing to do at all with tomorrow being my wedding anniversary, I'm sure.
I guess that makes 51 words for today.
