1. Armsaye: Name for the armhole in clothing.

2. Feat: A dangling curl of hair.

3. Harp: The small metal hoop that supports a lampshade.

4. Jarns, Nittles, Grawlix, and Quimp: These are all words used to describe the various squiggles and nonsensical letters that denote cussing in comics.

5. Liripipe: The long tail on a graduate's academic hood.
