This website has a lot of good posts...

[guacamole]

This is probably the best discussion site I have been on. In fact I have been recalcitrant in handing out my pearls. So I'd like to give away all my pearls. If you post to this thread, I will give you pearls.

However, you have to teach me a new word that I haven't heard of to get the pearls. You will get 1-5 pearls based on how cool the word is. Okay... start posting...

Oh yeah, trying to cherry pick words from the "word of the day thread" will only get you a ralph wiggum quote. No pearls...

Giving away pearls is obviously your métier.

métier: an occupation for which one is especially well suited.

metier = 5 pearls...

so...

how do you do the little accent mark anyway?

[Solly]

Do you use windows? Select run and type charmap.exe. that will give you a list of the extra characters, some of which can be typed using Alt + a four figure number. é = 0233.

I already knew that one. But you get 1 pearl per pair of syllables so... 2 pearls...

Hey Guac! Here's a new word for ya! pusillanimity.

[NSMinistries]

Chumash
Ritual book containing five books of Moses devided into the sections read on Shabbat, the corresponding Haftaroth from the other parts of the Tanakh, and the Megilloth read during certain festavals.

Here's the breakdown in the scoring for the last pearls...

NSMinistries: 5 pearls 'cuz it's just so cool...

Amazing Rando: I think if I ever have a hamster I will name him Amazing Rando. Otherwise 4 pearls. The American, French, and Russian judges assigned you a lower starting score for forcing me to render my own transliteration and definition.

RightIdea: 5 pearls for 6 syllables. What a bargain!

Em7ad11: 5 pearls for giving me a word i might actually use...

[Benster]

Irregardlessfully - alternate form of "regardless".

Moot - debatable, or unresolved. (Lots of people think it means irrelevant.)

Polydactyly - The condition of having more than five fingers or toes on
any one hand or foot!

[Em7add11]

Moot - debatable, or unresolved. (Lots of people think it means irrelevant.)
That's because it does mean irrelevant in certain contexts.

adj.

1. Subject to debate; arguable: a moot question.
2a. Law. Without legal significance, through having been previously decided or settled.
