OOh... Ululation - just read 'War of the Worlds' for the first time this century - it's still scary! This word features in WOFTW and I've always liked it.

My word of the moment is moritarium. Sounds much more miserable than it is. It should be a small room where Romans went to be moribund (a bit like the vomitarium where they went to be sick).
