Weird Word Game
Let's learn some new words! An alphabet game for unusual words and their meanings. I'll start with "A"


Amphigory am'fi-ge-ree, n (French amphigouri, of unknown origin)
A nonsense verse. Specifically, a poem designed to look and sound good, but which has no meaning upon closer reading.
