Here are some new entries. Well, English lang is exciting in a sense that many complex feelings can be concisely expressed in a single word which is otherwise rare to find in other langs.
poach = hunt illegally
grotesque = abnormal and hideous (in size)
deja vu = the experience of thinking a new situation had occurred before
masochist = someone who obtains pleasure from receiving punishment
importunate = making pressing or persistent requests
truant = one who is absent from school without permission; hooky player
I was looking at word 'protagonist', but couldn't understand its meaining clearly. It has meaning like 'principal character', but I doubt it has broader meaning. Somehow I tend to think that it means arrogant male character!
