This weeks (June/9/08 ) word is
ANFRACTUOSITY
USN;
I used to do that with a buddy in Nam only we did it on a daily basis. That is till the day he went on his last patrol.
This is a rare word indeed I could not even find it in my dictionary. But it is used as well in medical term as in " The anfractuosity of the mind or brain" which I find on the net. Which is synonymous of "winding".
Thanks for the word Tami. LOA

MyLOA, The word is very unusual. It also refers to any winding, crooked, twisted path, crevice, canyon. Also maybe used in legal terminology to refer to a convoluted legal argument meant to confuse rather than clarify. My sister and I like to compete with each other using words. I can't wait to spring this one on her!!! Camac, My friend, I am sorry to hear of your friends last patrol. TamiMcLeod, Come on , use it in a sentence!
