Want to fill your friends and fellow scrabble players with shock and awe (or at least stun them) this coming year with your vast knowledge of obscure words?

The perfect source of ammunition for you is the Short Scrabble Words section at Phrontistery.info, featuring loads of offbeat two and three-letter words.

Be sure to check out the International House of Logorrhea (excessive flow of words) section, where you will find words such as callithump (noisy parade), parapraxis (mistake), whangam (imaginary animal) and quisquilious (made of rubbish). Just don’t get too thrasonic (boastful) with your new vocabulary.
