Tom,
I can't find your words in any dictionary!
Have you made them up?

and they roll off one tongue and into another.

Judicious (adj) - Having good judgement.
Omniscient (adj) - All knowing.
Nescient (adj) - Not knowing.
Allay (verb) - Comfort; subside.
Conviction (noun) - Belief.
Benevolent (adj) - Respectful; kind.

Me? Make them up! How dare you!

...no, actually I anticipated the confusion - the words are just really old. I got them from one of my favorite sites, Forthright's Phrontistery! <- click it

Ischiocavernosus actually is a medical term that won't be at Forthright's... you can find it on WebMD though. ...hee hee hee

The Google logo is stylin' with fractals today, you could try searching for ischiocavernosus there to expedite the process. The element of discovery, in more ways than one, is crucial with this word... hee hee hee

Sorry Tom,

I would never imply that you are not honest! That would be an aphrontistery!
It was Google that said these words did not exist on the web, and who am I to argue with G's knowledge.
Joking apart, that site you referenced is excellent and I thank you for sharing it with us.

You're this close to being labeled a spammer in this forum. The suspicious nature of your signature is a giveaway.
