Hi everyone!

You may be wondering, "What is this thread? And why does it have a stupid name?"

Well, I'll tell you.

This thread is going to be a weekly/bi-weekly/whatever thread, in which users will post examples of where they've seen rare words being used correctly in context, whether online or in print. It'll be nice to see the odd places people will find rare words.

And it has a stupid name because I like alliteration too much to bother thinking of a better name, but if someone else has a godd name for these types of threads, I would love to hear it!
