Speaking of superfluity, I am intrigued by the pronunciation of this word. Especially how the emphasis differs from the word, superfluous.
It's like outrage and outrageous.
Outrage means extreme anger. Outrageous means extremely good. Or is that the connotation? It could also mean egregious.
Therefore, outrageous is one of those rare words which means something and its opposite!
Flummoxed. Did I discuss this word already, or am I confused with flamboozled?
A few other intriguing words: Flummery and Frippery.
