words

Here are some words I would like to remember. They will be very useful in my everyday conversation, I'm sure

Ouroboros:

[Wikipedia]

Epiplectic: punishing, chastising, shaming

fantods: [from the slang dictionary:]

screaming fantods definition

and (howling) fantods
n.
extreme anxiety; nervous hysteria. (Old. One might call this vintage literary mock colloquial, since it survives in the works of well-known writers and occasional literary use. The origin is unknown, but the Oxford English Dictionary lists Fantad with the same meaning, and cautiously suggests that is related to fantasy and similar words containing fan.)
