Tis the Season to Obligurate and Happify!
Good news! You don't have to read all 20 volumes of the OED (Oxford English Dictionary). Ammon Shea has done this and written a little gem: Reading the OED which he calls the "Cliffs Notes" for the OED.
Often hilarious, always interesting --for example the word postvide means to plan for an event after it has occurred. Say what? Sounds like something only politicians can pull off.
FYI obligurate means to spend time feasting and happify, no surprise, means to make happy. Be careful not to 'fornale' this holiday season--"spending one's money before it has been earned" is never a good strategy.
