You know what? I'm not playing any word games with reesetee!

Hey! How about this one: castramentation. It means the precise way of setting, measuring, and arranging military camp tents. But it sure doesn't *sound* like that's what it means.

Suggest adding ptosis. Especially because I already entered a citation. ;)

I'm a fan of 'niggardly.' It's been known to get people fired.

Today, I ran across Glagolitic mass. One is inspired to think of immense piles of some ancient disgusting thing, but...

The Glagolitic alphabet is lovely and strange. You can still come across it in parts of Croatia. In Istria they sell little ceramic Glagolitic scrolls as tourist souvenirs. The word glagol, by the way, is the Old Slavic word for "word" (today it means "verb" in most Slavic languages).

Thanks, rolig. I had a feeling you'd know more. :-)

madmouth commented on the list not-quite-as-awful-as-they-sound
apparently genicle is an obsolete term for "a joint in the stalk of a plant". It doesn't quite sound awful, though, so I don't know how great a candidate it is for the list.
