quodlibet:
1 : a philosophical or theological point proposed for disputation; also : a disputation on such a point
2 : a whimsical combination of familiar melodies or texts
how to use in casual conversation:
"i have a quodlibet for you: the chicken came first because jesus wanted it that way and that's why easter eggs are blasphemy."
not to be confused with:
hell. you can't confuse this with anything.
how it makes me feel:
pretty damn good. this is a great WOTD. nine letters, awkward phonetics, excellent definition, not recognized by spell check. and here's the kicker...
IT CAME FROM MW!
i know, right? i was shocked too. and the dictionary.com word of the day was alacrity. i love alacrity. i chose MW over dictionary.com. it's like......surreal maaaaaan.
