Those words are a mixed of meaning and sound.

I love the sound of the word Ethopia.

I have always found that "GOBBLEDYGOOK" is a lovely way of saying "BULLSH..."

Yes,....meaning and sound...
What is hen-night?

Just a guess, Sandra. It could be the term used for when women gather together. The 'hen' reference has been used to describe the sound of a number of women, together, talking. The 'cackle,' higher-pitched sound of their laughing and voices. I'm uncertain as to whether it would be the sound and image being a more endearing way of describing it, by women themselves, or men who love it, or just what, that would have its being included on this list.

If it's not that, I have no idea what it might be.

In the UK "hen-night" refers to a pre-wedding party when the bride to be goes out with her friends for a last night of freedom.

That settles it, then, Rob and Sandra. Rob's explanation holds, as the word compilation generates from the UK. It's a term not used here for that [at least so far as I'm aware]. Here, we refer to the male's only last "hurrah" as a Bachelor Party, on the last night of which he will be one.

Thanks, Rob, for clarifying the term for both of us.
