saracarl commented on the word darshan
I love Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project Blog, and a nice side affect of reading it (in addition to a daily attitude readjustment) is new vocabulary words! Gretchen loves words, and it shows.
A couple of weeks I learned darshan -- a Sanskrit word meaning (my rough translation) "basking in the glow" (of a holy person, usually). Gretchen extends it to explain why people like being in the presence of celebrities.

saracarl commented on the word razz
To razz -- to make fun of someone.
From "rasberry tart" which is cockney rhyming slang for "fart"
It comes from making a rasberry sound by blowing air through flapping lips -- or, in less refined circles, a farting noise.
Ben told me this last night, so I'm sure I should credit some blogger, but this was the only one I found.
