Whenever you learn a fun word in a language you speak natively or fluently, share it here! I personally will be posting only English words for now, but other languages are welcome if anybody else wants to contribute!

If you want to share a word, please provide the word, the definition and the context in which you found it. That way we can see the word in use.

Today I learned the word Indecorous!

adjective: indecorous

not in keeping with good taste and propriety; improper.

The context was "Would this tattoo be indecorous?"

Despite the sentence I found it in, I believe the word is more commonly used to describe how somebody is acting, such as the phrase "indecorous behavior".

Not a word I intend to add to my vocabulary really (as opposed to Puissant, which is just fun to say), but if I ever decide to get in to writing it seems like a great word!
