I was once signed up for a word of the day e-mail. They were usually words I wasn't familiar with and would rarely have an occasion to use. I remember exactly one word after three months of e-mails -- redoubt meaning hidden place, refuge, or stronghold. Though usually applied to earthwork defensive fortifications I consider Milovana here to be a redoubt for me.
