What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?

Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow and I feel like it comes in quite handy for example.

My contribution is katzenjammer, which is a word describing a really bad hangover (in the English language). I believe it is used a bit differently in the German language, but don't take my word for it.
- I learned that word from an old comic from the late 19th century called The Katzenjammer Kids, which apparently is the oldest strip still in syndication.
- It’s funny that a hangover in Dutch is a kater, or, (male) Katze
