Coquette, because is sounds funny and nobody knows what it means

Off the top of my head I thought it was just flirting, but the internet says it's specifically a woman who flirts.

It also made me think of croquettes. Now I want some salmon croquettes with a squeeze of lemon.

it's very similar to rizz when it comes to meaning, which makes it even funnier to me

Smithereens, because I’ve been playing overwatch and I play as soldier 76 a lot. He’s such a funny character.

The way he says “I’m goin in!” cracks me up.

Someone already took cattywampus, so I guess I'll go with ennui or petrichor.

Quixotic - cannot even remember what it means

TrueStoryBob ,

I think it means like a person is taking something that is foolish or misguided far to seriously.

ndupont ,

Yes :) , it looks that it takes its roots to Don Quixote (english is not my first language but come on, Don Quixote I could have remembered that)

Nemo ,

I means acting in a manner that's hard to understand.

Pronell ,

It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that's what it meant.

Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.

"optimal frustration" (one single word in several languages that aren't English)

Something is too easy? Easily bored.

Something is altogether too difficult? Feels hopeless.

Optimal frustration is where the magic happens, be it in education or a computer game.

Lugubrious is a good one. Doesn't really sound like what it means.

__Lost__ ,

Onomatopoeia, it's a fun word on it's own, but I love the while idea of it. Especially in other languages, like the million different words for dog barks.
