I like to think I have a pretty decent vocabulary, but once in a while I get blindsided and completely fail one of those “test your vocabulary” tests. My word bank hit a wall this week with the items below, so I thought I’d share. These words are so weird that it’s almost more fun to MAKE UP definitions for them, so feel free to do so in the comments, but we’ve included them right here anyway. How many of these words do you know?

1.) ort
2.) slumgullion
3.) zedonk
4.) interrobang
5.) bezoar

1.) n. a scrap or morsel of food left at a meal.
2.) n. a stew of meat, vegetables, potatoes, etc.
3.) n. the offspring of a zebra and a donkey.
4.)  n. a printed punctuation mark, available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question.
5.) n. a calculus or concretion found in the stomach or intestines of certain animals, esp. ruminants, formerly reputed to be an effective remedy for poison.
