... that W. H. Auden used in poems :
blouts, pirries, stolchy, glunch, sloomy, snudge, snoachy, scaddle, cagmag, hoasting, drumbles ...
(he used to scour the OED for curiosities then find a way to fit them in; but what do they mean?)

I think I'll write one now with all these words in one poem!
Thanks, sakhalin jim. That was useful.
hey, ~river~, I'd check an OED if you have access to one ... suspect Sakhalin Jim is having fun with us ... are you Jim?
Oh momma! ~:D
But I think I'll still write one with Jim's meanings. That should be even mmm...funner!!!!
