SHAKESPEAREAN INSULTS for $200: To call someone this is to say they're a scoundrel/rascal/rogue.
Most people think they have a pretty good vocabulary… until they meet the words that hide in old books, scientific journals, forgotten corners of the internet, and the mouths of overly dramatic aunts. This isn't your middle-school spelling test. These 40 words range from the 14th century to last year's TikTok, from Shakespeare to slang, from medicine to memes. Some will make you feel like a walking dictionary; others will humble you faster than autocorrect. Each question is styled like Jeopardy! — we give you the clue, you pick the word (or its meaning). 4 choices, only one is right. Ready to prove your brain isn't just taking up skull space? Let's separate the logophiles from the logophobes.
