Today's words

Just as I was lamenting the lack of decent WOTD material:

conurbation \kah-ner-BAY-shun\ - an aggregation or continuous network of urban communities
I might have guessed at this one in context. I wonder how this would compare to the word I've heard used to describe much of the northeastern seaboard: megalopolis. 
homologate \hoh-MAH-luh-gayt\ - to sanction or allow; especially : to approve or confirm officially
I wouldn't have guessed this one.
