In the genre of grindcore (and its subgenres e.g. goregrind) you can have a field day.
They've raided medical dictionaries and most songs in that genre will contain unique
words. They may even have covered "adrenoleukodystrophy"!

Drat. I was all excited by what I thought was my cool idea and everything.
Thanks for the link, Cervus - I missed the other thread first time round so it was fun
to see how the idea panned out.

Bet you can't find "feckless" in any other song. And that a shame, really, 'cause it
rhymes with so many words.

100GB is online backup, which makes the title misleading I find (I know: technically... still misleading).
Any chance you could correct your post? Thanks

I think everyone here knows that there is no way you could get 132 MB of storage in a phone(especially not one of that price). So I didn't worry about the issue when posting it. Besides, they would find out soon enough anyway if they checked it out. How are you going to get 132 MB in a phone of the thinness so popular today?

I may have a problem because my phone is a LG Sunset with only 16 GB of app storage(I have a 32 GB SD card, but I have Lollipop and can't use that for app storage). Do you have a 128 GB SD card? I didn't know they made them that big.

I've never needed one that big. I don't know what you use all all that storage for. I don't take pictures with the phone(I use a regular digital camera) and I read e-books not listen to music or watch videos(on a separate tablet, usually).
