yesternight
The contemporary textile artist El Anatsui uses this lovely if underused word in his podcast interview with MPOW's African art curator Alisa LaGamma. Of course, it's worth listening to for more than just this one word.
tofaux
This popped into my mind while emailing a friend about a vegetarian Chinese restaurant's menu. I would define it as tofu-based imitations of meat. Tofurkey is only one such product.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference More words for you:
Eric Newby: A Traveller's Life (Picador Books)
Dad passed this along to me, figuring it might be the sort of thing I'd read (as opposed to himself). Egotistical as most autobiographies tend to be, but what an interesting life all the same.
Aamer Hussein: Insomnia
A collection of short stories -- uneven, as most are -- but with some remarkably affecting story lines.
John Harvey: Darkness & Light: A Frank Elder Mystery
I liked his last one, Ash & Bone.
I love the word "yesternight"! Why does it sound so much more fullsome and evocative than "last night?" I will listen to whole podcast!
And I love Tofaux! That is what all that stuff is Totally Tofaux!
