I'm responsible for this, aren't I? Sorry, it appears that in my blind enthusiasm, I forgot to actually add an entry. It must have been those accursed fish- such a distraction.
In the meantime, please feel free to savour the following lexical sparklers...
Rotunda, jitty, podium, hiatus, miasma/ic, chicken, hollow, fox, sheep-dip, troglodyte, strata, soapstone.

Stubborn, buggies, Vladivostock... can't think of any more right now, but I filled the back pages of my old school books with these. Poorly, refuge, refuse, etc.

You can go back and edit the page, but sadly not remove these spurious forum entries.
And how about Nosecone, Brouhaha, Tsktsk, Nurdle, Trinket and Burgeoning?

No, don't worry about being spurious, I'm quite used to it. These words are all quite toothsome and nice.
You spelled a word wrong in another entry, by the way. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

I didn't. My fingers did. BAD fingers (slap).

Oooh, you liar! I've seen you at your worst. Tsktsk isn't a word, it's an onomatopaeic assimilative utterance. Anyway: bassoon, faggot, myrtle, suppository, facade (forgive the lack of a gubbins), gubbins, tricycle, mangold-wurzel, gombroon, cathode, anaphylactic shock.
Thankyou for your time.

Tsktsk is a verb, meaning "to say 'tsk'". So, while Tsk is an onomatopaeic interjection, tsktsk is a word.

No, I think you'll find it isn't. It's just a REPETITIVE onomatopaeic assimilative utterance.
Philomel, banal, scumbag, extreme unction.

I can reply to me because I am alone. Yes, Queex is a bit of a dolt, isn't he? Absolutely. Where were we... right: bugle, oblong, shoddy, Hob-Nob, gnome, toddler, bitching, sarcophagus, scarab, tumescent, fellabella, toffee, Hovis, toilet.
Now, try putting them into sentences.
