Bad handwriting or Spelling. Used from 1800-1835
I saw this word and definition on the Lost Words site below, and it made me laugh. It's literally Ugly Calligraphy, smashed together.
Next time you have to write something down, say you have uglyography instead of bad handwriting, and laugh at the face of whoever you say it to. I wouldn't suggest using it as a word to make people feel better about their writing skills overall though, because it does start with ugly.
Interestingly, this actually came back in the name of a band. I didn't investigate that side of things, but they do describe themselves as 'Quirkadelic', so they might be interesting.
Either way, have fun with this word, and I'll see you again soon.
