What sort of odd words pop into your head?

I was in work this morning when I suddenly thought calceolaria! I asked a colleague if she had heard of it-no, but another lady
said she thought it was a flower. It is, and I can now spell it as well. I’m not a gardener, so where did that come from?

Salanakaffar.

No idea what it means or even if it means anything. It's like an outblowing of breath for me.

flocon – crump. Like it! Keeping that one.

Flocon ❤️ I first saw that word on a packet of French instant mash. Not quite so romantic as flocon de neige.

I like Rumbledethumps; it's a sort of potato/swede/cabbagey thing (lots of different recipes on-line).

And Sweetheart, as said by my DH.

Susurration.
The word seems as lovely as the sound it describes.
