word up

I love new words. I have a pretty varied vocabulary, and other than jargon I rarely get to stumble upon new words. Or rather, old words that are unfamiliar.

This came across in a professional letter recently: farrago.

I'm loving this word, but have yet to have opportunity to use it in context.

From the New Oxford American Dictionary:

farrago |fəˈrägō; -ˈrā-|
noun ( pl. -goes)
a confused mixture : a farrago of fact and myth about Abraham Lincoln. See note at JUMBLE .

DERIVATIVES
farraginous |fəˈrajənəs| |fəˈrødʒənəs| |fəˈrɑːdʒɪnəs| |-ˈreɪdʒ-| adjective

ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Latin, literally ‘mixed fodder,’ from far ‘corn.’

Okay, now how much am I loving farraginous?
