Never too old to learn

[billeyler]

Not long ago I heard this word, having no idea what it meant.  I'm sure I had never heard it before in my prior 53 years.  Since I first heard it, I've heard it again and again and have seen it in print a couple of times.  I think I've been living in an alternate universe where this word didn't exist.  If I had known it, I'd have used it...rolls of the tounge and has a happy, lush sound to it...

louche

adjective

of questionable taste or morality; "a louche nightclub"; "a louche painting"

 Yet another word that I saw in a magazine earlier in the year, also never having heard or seen it before is...

eponymous 

1846, from Gk. eponymos "given as a name, giving one's name to something," from epi- "upon" + onyma, Aeolic dial. variant of onoma "name

I used to hear that one called self-styled and such, but never the word 'eponymous,'  as in calling an album you've released by your own name.  Now that term is all over the place.
