Interesting fact:

There’s a huge number of words in English that have fallen out of usage. Some of them are very strange-sounding! Ever heard of ‘rounce-robble-hobble’? In Elizabethan England this was the name given to thunderclaps. And a ‘fribbler’? This term was used to described a man who was besotted with a woman but too afraid to commit to marriage. And a ‘giglet’ is a merry and light-hearted girl!
