I’m learning new words for something I’ll tell you about later.  Of the current batch I’m studying, here are some words that don’t sound at all like their definition (i’ll leave it up to you to figure out the definitions):

- Phlegmatic: Makes me think of the word phlegm.

- Salubrious: I would have to say the word sounds like a description of a creepy lounge lizard.

- Soporific:  Soap + terrific.  Terrific Soap, right?

- Recalcitrant: Could this be an accountant who re-checks his numbers incessantly?

- Quotidian:  Sounds like somebody with a sharp wit.
