Want to learn unusual words and improve your knowledge of the obscure corners of the English language? Want a wacky name for your band? Well, all you need is spam. Thanks to unsuccessful efforts to evade spam filters, I get dozens of uncommon words sent to me daily, whether I like it or not. Unfortunately, the spammers don’t include definitions, but there is always webster.com. It’s almost a service. The spam message, as with most spam, is HTML, so I don’t even see it in mutt, so all I see is a block of odd words, neatly labeled as spam by my spam filter, which isn’t fooled at all. .
