Edifice - a large, impressive building, according to the Oxford dictionary definition. Well, it's a commonly held view that "size isn't everything" ... ;)))

In my humble opinion, this particular edifice is a hideous blot on the landscape, so there! [-X

Certitude - a feeling of complete certainty, often displayed by know-alls. Always a pleasure when one of them trips up and makes a fool of themself, known as "schadenfreude" in Germany (joy at the mistakes of others).

Charisma - Marilyn Monroe had this, and it showed in that iconic movie poster for "The Seven Year Itch" with her billowing white dress blown up over the subway grating - rated the most eye catching scene in tinsel-town's tacky history. :D

Esplanade - a long paved area adjacent to water, where people may walk for pleasure. Or if it's at Blackpool in February, for masochistic reasons ... ;)))

Double declutch never got the hang of it in our trusty Landrover called Larry. He started life in Kenya, moved to the UK and then moved to Amorgos where he now resides in our friends olive grove. Retired but not dead though. :D

Chromosomes - thread-like structures found in the nuclei of living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes. I find it fascinating that my wife and I passed on our genes to our three children and hence to our seven grandchildren, so ten people are now around who wouldn't have existed, had we never met and married. And we only met as a consequence of a chain of chance meetings and happenings in our lives in quite different geographical locations. No wonder some people are firm believers in "Fate" ... :-o

Antidisestablishmentarianism - a really long word whose only modern purpose is to be a long word because no one ever uses it seriously.

Shale - soft rock formed from compressed mud or clay, and sometimes containing oil and/or gas. So extraction of these energy sources by high pressure water injections is becoming popular in the petrochemical industry. Not so popular with folk living in the area, who would like to see them fracking off ... :-s
