NEW CHALLENGE! Post a word rarely seen in the forums in the last year

[Perknose]

Can you get a royal flush, Perky? One use per year every year the forum's been operating?

I needed to up the ante for you because you're too good at this!

Paige, the real fun for me are the words themselves, not the rest. Plus, I don't need more enticement to be drawn into this thread, I need less!

Congruency is used once in five different years ('10, '09, '08, '07, and '04). Three times in '03 also, though. No way I'll get something better than that.

It's far more interesting to me if the words are regular words of general English discourse rather than overly technical scientific or medical terms which are, perforce, rare . . . but, hey, that's just me.
