The freaks come out at night, but the real weirdos are crepuscular.

This is only the second time in my life I have seen the word crepuscular. The first being when I found it to rhyme in a spider-man style serenade...

@[email protected] Ravensrod, Ravensrod They're a ferret, not a cod Sleeps all day, 18 hours Doesn't have, magic powers Look out Here comes the Ravensrod When'd they wake? In the dusk Leaps around like Elon Musk Do they own, social media? I'll consult my encyclopedia Hey, no There goes Ravensrod In the chill of night For their wake is crepuscular Like a streak of light Though flexible they're quite muscular Ravensrod, Ravensrod Friendly neighbourhood Ravensrod Wealth and fame They've ignored Tunnelling, their reward Look out Here comes the Ravensrod

It's a great word.

Anne McCaffrey uses it several times in her Pern books. I love it as a word because it kinda sounds like something dirty, but it isn't.
