Hey good people! Hope you're having a good day so far?
I came across an article listing out common things around us and even on us called by uncommon names. We sure learn everyday.
In excitement, I checked for how true some are and in the process also got their correct spellings.
You find the words below👇

PETRICHOR - smell after rain
AGLET - coating at the end of your shoe lace
WAMBLE - rumbling sound of the stomach
VAGITUS - cry of a new born baby
TINES - prongs on a fork/ sharp ends of a fork
PHOSPHENES - light seen when you close your eyes and press your hands on them
OVERMORROW - day after tomorrow

AGRAFFE - wired cage that holds the cork on a bottle of champagne
INTERROBANG - combination of exclamation mark and question mark
COLUMELLA NASI - space between your nostrils
ARMSCYE - armhole in your clothe where sleeves are sewn
DYSANIA (SLEEP PARALYSIS) - diffuculty of getting out of bed
GRIFFONAGE - unreadable handwriting
CRAPULENCE - sick feeling you get after eating/drinking too much
