Merriam-Webster.com keeps an alphabetized list of the words that I looked up last. Mainly, my primary interest in looking up words is to make sure that they mean exactly what I think they mean (or for spellings, pronunciations, etc.). For me, precision and nuance are the most important aspects of written diction.
Do they tell a story? Or are they simply a catalogue of the everyday bizarre?

douchebag
eclat
