On today's show, our feature conversation is about 10 words that should absolutely come back into the conversation as selected by the Word Warriors of Wayne State University. 

At 0:53 we start talking about:

Anagapesis Loss of feelings for someone who was formerly loved. They sat in silence in their usual coffee shop, the anagapesis growing as their drinks cooled.

Blatteroon A senseless babbler or boaster. The bartender groaned at the string of nonsense coming from the blatteroon in the corner; he could cut off his drinks, but the man was stone-cold sober.

Brontide A low, muffled sound like distant thunder heard in certain seismic regions, especially along seacoasts and over lakes and thought to be caused by feeble earth tremors. He sat watching the water, his dread enhanced by drone of the brontide.

Dysania The state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning. On Mondays, my dysania can cause me to reach for the snooze alarm upward of five times.

Footle Engage in fruitless activity; mess about. He footled around the house aimlessly, ignoring the checklist of chores his wife had left on the fridge.

Maleolent Foul-smelling, odorous. The restaurant was set at the end of the street, likely to shield the community from the maleolent fog that wafted from its kitchen.

Paralian Someone who lives by the sea. He escaped the noise of the city, bought a beach house on the Pacific coast and became a paralian.

Snollygoster A shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician. The tone of national politics changed when humble public servants were replaced by power-hungry snollygosters.

Sophronize To imbue with moral principles or self-control. Parents have an obligation to sophronize their children.

Ultracrepidarian Expressing opinions on matters outside the scope of one's knowledge or expertise. Many who haven't had kids are too eager to give ultracrepidarian advice to parents.
