worthless words of the day

In case you are bored, you can seek out today's worthless word of the day. My favorite so far:

the worthless word for the day is: hesternal

pertaining to yesterday (from L. hesternus, of yesterday)

"In enervating slumbers from the hesternal dissipation or debauch."
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Pelham; or the adventures of a gentleman

bonus word: hesternopothia - a pathological yearning for the good ol' days
(from L. hesternus, of yesterday + pother, mental tumult) :^)
