It is a question of British English (BRE) or American English (AME)
 
PERNICKETY means PER NIGHT with the Crown KEY to the Tycoon �s room.
 
So it is a word used exclusively when you are running a hotel, a 5-star hotel. If you are a PERNICKETY or PERSNICKETY Person you are more than a VIP...
 
You can enjoy exclusive and very unusual advantages like sleeping in a space-environmented room in the exact conditions of a rocket around our planet !
 
What is your secret dream when in a hotel room ?

Well, well, well ... It is very kind of you to have declared me the winner ! We can feel that school is going to start again very soon ! And now it is high time for me to go to bed and I do not really feel like to find a strange or forgotten word at the moment.
 
So I will post a new word tomorrow when my ideas are clearer !
 
Good night to all. Hugs and sweet dreams.
 
Maryse.
