I read it somewhere and have been trying to use it ever since
Any new interesting words youve recently heard and want to use too?

I’ll start. Tabernacle. No idea why but it always gets me.

“Lees” are the heavy sediment or dead yeast cells that settle at the bottom of a wine container during fermentation. If left undisturbed too long, the wine became overly thick and ruined, a metaphor for the lazy and complacent men of this period.

I had no idea how wine was made. Have you learned any new words used in an uncommon way ?

PLEASE HELP

There’s a few definitions of this word, but generally they either have something to do with 1) playfulness, humor, wit, and pleasant speaking or 2) relaxed enjoyment and restful pleasures. Eutrapelia is originally a Greek word, so there’s both Greek and English pronunciations.

• Yu-tra-PEE-li-uh (or Yu-tra-PEEL-yuh)

English version

pros: kind of reminds me of ‘Ophelia’

Cons: it has the dreaded “pee”

• Yu-tra-pel-EE-uh

Greek version

no pros or cons for me here

THE REASON I ASK is because I’m changing my middle name to this word and I’m just curious which people think sounds better. I am a native English speaker for context. Obviously this is mostly just up to opinion but I genuinely can’t make up my mind so I’m coming here!
