I only came across one new word this week, at least that I noticed.
gallimaufry– a hodgepodge; jumble; confused medly.
Every family had a few skeletons in their cupboards, but the Vanger family had an entire gallimaufry of them.
from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

Wow, that’s a mouthful. I wouldn’t even know how to begin to pronounce it. Thanks for playing along!
Now that is definitely a jumbled word!
What a great word!
What a great word – it sounds like what it describes!
