I love "zephyr", "oi", "idiocy" and "bildungsroman." I know, stupid English major term, but don't you just love saying it AND knowing what it means? Yes, I do.
Yes, Megan! I love the moments when I actually use bildingsroman in conversation, immediately feel like an idiot, and then realize that knowing it and being able to use it makes me an UNidiot.
