WORD CHALLENGE

A v.v. awesome friend of mine is running a v.v. awesome word-use challenge this summer, based on 100 Words Every Word Lover Should Know. Some of these I don't know, and some I do, and a bunch of them I've already used in fics. If you can name a word from the list below and the fic I've used it in, I'll give you a present. DK what it is yet -- probably a drabble.

'Scuse me for now, I'll be in my bunk with dictionary.com, getting familiar with the words I don't know.

Title: Words in the Staffroom
Author: Dee Laundry
Pairing: House/Wilson (AU)
Rating: NC-17
Words: 408
Summary/Notes: AU PWP in which Wilson is an 18-year-old li’l bastard; House is his willing-to-take-what’s-offered 28-year-old biology teacher. Prequel to Book Marking.
