Why this word is great
REJECTAMENTA — [Noun] Things cast aside as worthless; the discarded detritus of human existence. From Latin reiectamenta (plural of reiectamentum), from reiectare (frequentative of reicere, "to throw back"), from re- ("back") + iacere ("to throw"). Unlike "debris" (which suggests the accidental leavings of catastrophe) or "detritus" (which implies the slow accumulation of fragments), rejectamenta speaks of conscious dismissal. It is the cigarette butt ground into pavement, the love letter crumpled in a bin, the plastic bag snagged on a barbed wire fence—all testaments to our relentless habit of throwing the world away, piece by piece.
