Python List Continuation with multiple lambdas applied
The biggest problem with your code was the formatting issues (PEP8 violations), which you already fixed, with the exception of workingList which should be working_list.

Doc strings would be nice.

Instead of "uniquify", perhaps unique or even uniq sounds better.

In your first lambda you used word as the variable, in the second you used x. It would be more natural to unify.

This code doesn't make your ass look fat, I think.
