Calling all word nerds

I stumbled upon a list tonight that I think is too good to pass up. Aside from the satisfaction that comes from beefing up your vocabulary, you never know when one of these rare words might come in handy.

Imagine you're in the hot seat on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and poised to win the purse with only one remaining question. You've used all your lifelines. You land on this: What is another word for the infinity symbol? A.) Philtrum B.) Ferrule C.) Glabella D.) Lemniscate

Are you going to see confetti falling or will you walk away wishing you had checked out the Top 10 Words For Things You Didn't Know Have Names?

I hope for your lunules that it's the former, my friend.
