試着 - trying on clothes (e.g. in a department store)
I’m really surprised this one is not in Wanikani. It’s a perfect candidate for level 12 since 着 is introduced there, and 試 is (now) introduced in level 9. It seems like this would be a common and useful word.

ゆで卵の詰め物 deviled eggs
I was trying to explain what I am making for Christmas, but there is no easy Japanese word for it. So my (Dutch) teacher talked it over with his (Japanese) wife, and this is what they came up with. It was a whole thing in the WhatsApp-group 
I also learned 茹でる to mean to boil (an egg)

I just saw 東京特許許可局 in an example sentence and was like, there is no way that’s a real place.
Fortunately it’s not, it’s just a tongue twister. A cruel one.

胡麻を擂る
ごまをする
Expression
Literally, to grind sesame seeds, however, means to butter up; to try to get on the good side of.
Had to look up how this related to sesame seeds, the explanation I found was when you grind sesame seeds in a suribachi (すり鉢), a traditional grooved ceramic grinding bowl, the seeds get stuck to the sides of the bowl and are hard to get off, just like a person who is eager to impress to you is hard to get away from

異世界 parallel universe
I was watching Skull Face Honda Bookseller and he said to a kid running around with a book called That Time I Got Reincarnated Naked, “Sir, those are isekai boobies!”
On jisho the translation of isekai is parallel universe, but I’m not sure that’s correct here? Either way I’ve learnt a new word.
