Weren't those words used in the Laverne & Shirley opening theme?
A few of my favorites:
persnickity
couillon (dumba$$)
framousse (a big 'ol frown that kids are good at making, adults also qualify)
The last 2 are cajun. I'm not sure on the spelling - cajun is one of those things that's spoken and not always written - I often accuse Mr. Bee and his dad of making up words as they go along. I seem to keep hearing new words.
