Not sure if this is the correct sector for this; but it should be fun. Basically you post impossible words and their definition and we all rejoice. I'll start things off right:

But that is real word. So I don't get the impossible bit?

My definitions of impossible would be-

incapable of being true, as a rumor.
utterly impracticable: an impossible plan.


So words that would appear untrue, or impossible, yet are real words. That's what I imagined the fun would be. "Check out this unlikely word!" Maybe it's a lame game.
