I came across a post a while ago that listed some archaic\/disused words in the English language. Some of them were awesome! So I went looking for more. Here are some no-longer-used English words that I propose we bring back into common use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overmorrow<\/a><\/strong>: (on) the day after tomorrow.
Example: “I’ll clean my room overmorrow.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ereyesterday<\/strong><\/a>: (on) the day before yesterday.
Example: I’m still thinking about the concert I went to ereyesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedward<\/a><\/strong>: heading toward bed.
Example: It’s late, I’m bedward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crapulous<\/a><\/strong>: sick from excessive indulgence in food or liquor.
Example: I had the munchies and now I’m feeling crapulous.
(Note, depending on the source, this may or may not apply to excessive indulgence in food. It 100% applies to excessive indulgence in liquor. But we already have ‘hangover’ for that, so crapulous, in my opinion, should apply to overeating.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sciolist<\/strong><\/a>: a person who pretends to be knowledgeable.
Example: It is inadvisable for a sciolist to attend a conference with masters of the field as their charade will be uncovered.
(Note: Sciolism [a superficial show of learning] is still a modern English word, so I find it odd that sciolist is rarely, if ever, used.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fudgel<\/a><\/strong>: Pretending to work when you\u2019re not actually doing anything at all.
Example: My privacy screen protector really improved my ability to get away with fudgeling.
(Note: Despite fudgel coming up on numerous archaic word lists, it’s not in any of the dictionaries online. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether this is a real<\/span> 18th century word or something entirely fabricated.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know any archaic words that should be brought back into common use? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
