Horripilation

Postby AikidoLizard » Sat Aug 28, 2010 1:51 am

Horripilation: goosebumps, goose-pimples, whatever.

I must say I prefer it to "goose-pimples!"

One assumes that "horripilatious" is the adjective, and although nothing rises from the murky pits of the Google search engine, I have seen it in a book! A real, book! With pages! So it must be real.
