Haoyan Do 
Didn’t know quite a few.
Thanks for sharing two from my side. I appreciate it. 🙂
And I always have wondered how I’d look with a buzzcut. Haha.
Probably, not bad.
You are really thorough and passionate about this.
Waiting for Haoyan’s book of ‘not so common words’. 🙂

Women don’t usually do buzzcut, but I think it can be beautiful. The current beauty standard is so narrow and shallow that we are willing to do anything to defy it. Haha. I’ve wondered about a compilation of all the words, but I am not sure of the format and the presentation.

LOL. SAT words are frustrating. I remember once ten years ago I was asked to tutor a girl SAT and it was an awful experience since those vocab were so dry and lifeless.

Great list and thanks for adding mine. “Aphantasia” is one I have been hearing a lot about online. I didn’t know much about it till recently.

I’ve never encountered Aphantasia except on wordpress posts. LOL. I guess I have trouble imagining science fiction and fantasy stories since I am not into them.

I wonder if these words are regularly used? How do I know which one is popular and which is rare?

Yes, probably these words are not so often used. I myself have never used any of them. I confess.
