    The ones you trot out when trying to look all big and clever. The first ones out of the grab bag.

    obstreperous
    recalcitrant
    idiosyncracy
    polysyllabic
    ostentatious

    yours?
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              Not too sure what the rules are for what gets moved. Highly subjective. I assume one of the mods had a bad day.

                I see my boobies thread has moved over too, at long last.

                Anyway, I have again put a phrase onto CUK that did not exist in Google prior to me entering it.
