I’ve been a bit shoddy posting words, so here are a selection.
Clamjamphrie – rubbish, nonsense, rabble. Or (from the Urban Dictionary) a gathering of idiots.
Cockalorum – boastful and self-important person. Looking this up online led me to Ultracrepidarian – one who offers advice beyond their field of knowledge. And Ninnyhammer – idiot.
Numquid – an inquisitive person (note: I check these words online because they come from an old dictionary and might be inaccurate or a bit wrong. For this one, I can only find the translation of this as a Latin word, but supposedly it is an English word in its own right.)
Quiddle – a fastidious person.
Today I’ve started learning the flags of the world on Memrise.com. I learnt ten, I know I will have forgotten them tomorrow. This may take a while.

Inquisitive and fastidious am I;
Numquid and Quiddle are indeed my middle names.
If I have a yen to learn ten foreign flags then
we know whom this person firmly blames…

I’m minded to try some of the Slavic flags, from Russian down to former Yugoslavian countries. They all seem to have the same three colours of red, white and blue in bands but in different orders:
🇷🇺 🇭🇷 🇸🇰 🇸🇮 🇷🇸
Or maybe other former Eastern bloc countries:
🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇵🇱 🇭🇺 🇧🇬 🇷🇴
Or the Scandinavians:
🇩🇰 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇮🇸 🇬🇱
Hmm, all too easy and not at all confusing. Back to the drawing board…

Heh, the program I’m using has barely started on those. If you like challenge, do you use Sporcle.com? Some years ago i used that site to learn all the countries of the world, their capitals, etc. But I can imagine you liking some of the more obscure quizzes on there.

Cockalorum! One good thing about the lockdown we don’t have to meet them!

During the global health crisis, the quiddles were more likely to stay healthy, the clamjamphries unnecessarily put themselves at risk by ignoring rules and we were all spared the pain of dealing with the cockalorums in our lives. Numquids like myself used the opportunity to find out everything they could about anything.

About flags, my prophecy for you:
The cockalorum numquid
who embarketh
on clamjamphrie quest
shall end up only
with seaweed and mud.
My advise: Try one flag a day.

Hmm, certainly wise words to think on today. Luckily I quite like seaweed and a large part of my job involves mud, so I can carry on with my quest in confidence! 😀 You’d make a fine fortune teller, far better than horoscopes.

😀 See, I have another job option, if my company doesn’t make it after the corona virus scare.
