Status: offline 		GOTCHA.  "Zakuski" is plural.  The singular is "zakuska" (sometimes spelled "zakouska").  So you can't say "Zakuskis."  (It's like "spaghetti.")

Edited to add: I didn't know "abderian," and looked it up.  Very nice word.  An eponym, too.

Abderian. Has something to do with laughing, but I am not sure in which context.

"Abderian" means "prone to laughter," after Abdera, the home of Democritus, the so-called Laughing Philosopher.  Amazing what you can learn on Collarme these days.

A Capitol letter that is made with a flourish. Like in caligraphy. I am not sure what the exact style is though; I have seen them, just never thought to actually find out lol.

I just noticed the word isn't on Dictionary.com or in OED.  I guess that one was unfair then.

Well, I was at first going to say no, you were wrong, but after thinking for a few, it could be construed in such a way.
