    skedaddle
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Contrafibularities - a fine Blackadder word.
      Weltschmerz - I like it because its a bit like schadenfreude.
      Whoopsie-daisies - a self-explanatory choice.
      Scapa/Scarper - to "flow" on from skedaddle.

            Gotta love the inappropriate old plant names. By-the-by, Dauphin, syntax is the difference between "I pr1ck my finger" and "I finger my pr1ck."

            Also, twee, swyve, and cullions.

                    I hope you allow place names.

                    I've always liked Ootacamund, often shortened to Ooty, because it's the kind of thing you can imagine someone dying for a dump saying when they eventually find relief.

                    Or not.

                    Polyphant- the Apolyton retirement home in Cornwall.

                    Borth- ennui at the Welsh seaside.

                    I like medical terms too:

                    pemphigus

                    seborrheic- (the Irish-Croatian long distance runner)

                    fumarole- a snack especially for smokers
