And then there's "gigantic" & "Icelandic"!!

"It's no use speaking Icelandic It's time to sling your load Across the wild Atlantic On the Destitution Road"

I made up the word "triosk" to rhyme with "kiosk". I don't exactly remember the context - I think a friend laid down a rhyming challenge, and I rose to the occasion! "Triosk" is now used in our circle of friends! (meaning: those thin little rolls of skin you get when your hands are dirty and you rub your finger along the palm of your hand. It can also refer to eraser shavings on paper)
