'scopperil [skop-uh-ril] - "a hyperactive child, or a squirrel."'

Ohhhh, I like that word. I love squirrels with their ticcy little tails. I have hours of video of squirrels that were taken when in D.C..

I like the word selcouth too, but had no idea what it meant, apart from knowing the "couth" part as in "uncouth".

jollux and titvil, hey? Sounds French. Rhymes with bollocks? lol
The titvil sounds like a bird, but I guess in the context it's not going to be a bird. Are they real words, or are they words that children have mispronounced which mean something totally different. My daughter used to say Ambliance... for ambulance e.g. sooo cute she was.

Just another thought... Does titvil mean like a tattletale???

In context ""After the young boy ran up to me at recess to tell me that Max called Melissa a 'jollux', Max yelled back at the boy 'you titvil!' "... was max calling melissa a boy and max called the boy a girl? LOL just guessing. I haven't a CLUE.

Nope, no idea on those two.
