From Susie Dent - one who holds forth on a subject on which they have no expertise.

Not a word that could be applied to anyone on this forum.

Quafftide - Viking word for the time for drinking.

Snollygoster - a politician who abandons integrity to pursue their ambitions.

Dickering - engage in petty argument.

Lollygag - spend time aimlessly.

As in: "There is plenty of dickering and lollygagging going on on here today."

Some lovely words there sound just like words Roald Dahl invented in the BFG. I particularly like snollygoster!

And I love countdown too.
