Yesterday I used the word 'milt' (as in "fish ejaculate").

How on earth did that come up in conversation?

What about blog and vlog?

Mmm, karst.

You came up with "creche" yesterday, did you forget to post?

mien
shank (both meanings)
scrim
quoll (sp?)
thane
laird
thrall
dirk
jute
farl
bla (ok, this one doesn't exist in dictionaries. It's a type of breadroll commonly found in Munster, which is similar to a homemade, square bap - very floury, soft, with hardly any crust. Never seen it spelled, so it's possible it should be 'blath', assuming it's borrowed from the gaelic word for a flower (cf our 'bloomer'), but it's used commonly in English, so long as you're in the context of buying bread from local bakeries in the Waterford region)
warp (in its technical meaning)
weft
harl
carl
card (again, the textile term, if that's distinct enough to be considered)
ceorl
lede (both meanings)
leal
fief
bluff (geographic sense)
brume
gill (geographic sense)
beck
thwaite
coomb
pith (in all three meanings!)
scry
skein
slag

Notabene: id != ID. (Which is not one syllable in the first place.=
