Today is the 460th anniversary of Rabelais' death (probably, although we're more certain of that than of the day - or year - of his birth). You can see a few of my favourite quotes* over on @SDOSTU. If you need a word fix, here are some coined by Rabelais himself and Anglicised by Sir Thomas:
Celivagous
Circumbilivagination
Fredin-fredaliatory
*that I could get down to 140 characters, anyway. The wipe-bummatory chapter was unfortunately eliminated.
