I tend to forget to come to wordnik; is it legal to steal your list and add it to mine? If so, how do I do this? If not, I apologize for feeling so drawn to thievery!
This is wonderful! Oh, how I love words and phrases! And I must admit that "antediluvian" was one of the first words with which I fell in love -- and this was before I knew its meaning. It was the way Donovan said it in the narrative beginning to the (now somewhat embarrassing) song "Atlantis."
ludology: My late husband and I (he died at 56) were game freaks. Now I have trouble finding people who want to play games, opting instead for computers, facebook, movies, and TV. So sad.
You've got some great words here: love papaveerine. Do you have "post-prandial"? While it doesn't fit in the "p" category, you might like preantepenultimate: it mens next to the next to the next to the last!
(Obviously, these should all be adjectives if they DESCRIBE me, so I'll say that this list contains words that describe me, have to do with me, includes words for feelings I have and for things I do.)

Higgelvich Piggelvich
Anna Karenina
Russian romanticist
cracked under strain:
impetuosity
caused her to tragically,
melodramatically
catch the next train. (from a magazine)
and another:
Normandy-Normandy
William the Conqueror
channeled his strength against
Celtics and Picts.
Domesday Book sponsor and
founder of juries, he's
mainly remembered for
1066.
(also from a magazine - I'm guessing GAMES magazine, since it is from some notes I kept from a creative writing class I taught)

Since you have "nuzzle" on your list, perhaps you would enjoy "canoodle," which means to cuddle.

Great choices, Saudade108, but do consider adding PREANTEPENULTIMATE. Looking for reasons to use it can make for a fun moment or two.

I an a resistentialist! This philosophy has developed over time, and I suspect that, as more humans age, they, too, will come to embrace it!
