Words are interesting

English has an interesting vocabulary.

Short words:
Gnu, poi, ecru, cache, ogle, olio, creel, deke, pica (not a sound effect from a fictional rat), pekoe, stile, ague

British words:
jesuit, wotcher, hitherto, ombudsman, subsistence,

Weird words:
howitzery, kaka, ordure, dejecta, cojones, bruin, bougie, mantissa, gegenschein, lackadaisical, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (I think this is right...?),

these are just a few words that come in mind; I'l try to put some more when i think of more
