A few entries back I mentioned that I think "arugula" is a silly word. My wife could use some help on more silly words.

She has decided to do an alphabet book as an art project involving silly words. To make it harder, she wants to construct sentences.

Example: D is for defenestration.
Dolores, defenestrated, dives downward to doom.

I've jotted down some possible words; can people help with this? Thanks!

A is for arugula, awry
B is for baobab, bailiwick
C is for catacombs, caboose, Calcutta
H is for hubbub
O is for orpiment
P is for perambulate
Q is for quaff, quagmire
R is for rutabaga, roundelay
S is for syzygy

You've got some of my favorites there! Wulfric, you could suggest she get The Superior Person's Book Of Words out of the library. That has some great ones, most of which I'm sure you already know, but it'll put 'em all in one place.

By "She" I certainly hope you don't mean me....

Course not! Wulfric said his wife was doing the project. That's the "she" in question.
