Actually Ironbridge is OK.
I would not however suggest Severn Beach as a nice place for a seaside holiday

The name Leighton Buzzard sounds dreadful, but I'm sure it's not.  |

Gargantuan was used in a story I marked the other day. The lad who used it is 10 and I was rather impressed. |

I love the word 'discombobulated' 1834, American English, fanciful coinage of a type popular then (originally discombobricate). Related: discombobulating ; discombobulation. |

I also love the word "Hornswoggled" a favourite of Dad's. He also loved Schemozzle... |

I think 'Schemozzle' is probably mock-Yiddish - cf. 'schlimazel'
I like 'Gefuffle'...

Scrumptious. Though nowadays people tend to say 'scrummy', which doesn't sound so nice to me.
