linguicide

Used in linguistics, Speakers of a language start to use another language to the point where it starts to be used in the home and/or the next generation or subsequent generations do not learn the language. When the last speaker of a language dies so does the language. That language can never be heard again in a natural setting.
In California alone, linguicide is committed yearly. It's such a shame!

lingerie

A somewhat pointless, yet amazingly sexy undergarment usually worn by women to arouse and excite men. The reason for it being pointless is beacuse if the situation calls for lingerie, a stained and oversized t-shirt will excite men just as much, because neither will be staying on for an extended period of time. Lingerie may take the form of thongs, garter belts, bras, and other lacey things...
"She looked great in that lingerie...but as I recall, she looks just as good in my t-shirt when the mood is right."
