Consonant-ly suprising

On my travels trough the WWW I have come across a huge amount of useless, informative, amazing and scary sites.

But I wanted to share this one with everyone.

The Dictionary of all Consonant Words

Just a quick browse through here threw up such gems as:


qch.
interj. a casual, cough-like utterance meaning oh.
<“How’s Andy,” he asked casually. “Qch, fine,” said the other. —Dorothy L. Sayers, The Five Red Herrings.
hgkh.
n. the sound of someone struggling not to drown in a vat of fresh cream, as in the graphic novella Hearts and Minds by Scott McCloud; see also sppt, blpb.
C-rch.
n. a judicious alien Luminoth who lies silently “in a small corridor within the depths of a high fortress,” in the video game “Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.”

I am not sure of the legitimacy of these words in a Scabble tournament though!
