It sounds like something from 19th century British-English. I love the way its pronounced at any rate. Ever so fun~ I might have to start using this once in a while! I love using archaic words in actual speech, even when people give me weird looks.

Mm, yes. Most people seem to become abaft in a state of acatelepsy around the presence of most obscure words, don't you think?
