[o'queery]

imperfection

<3

say it. for what it defines it sure sounds sultry.

[C0LLETTE]

"copacetic"

I just remember when everyone used to say that then smile benignly as if there was nothing more to be said.

[Bèsame*]

....succulent ....

[C0LLETTE]

"loathe"

"I loathe you" ... so smooth, so languidly venomous, so much more deeply cutting than "I hate you". The trick is to say it slowly with a straight face after a long pause.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Serendipity

[Bèsame*]

Scram.

Colorful, succinct, and direct, but in the most playful way possible. It has a cartoonish quality about it that I really like. This is one of my favorite words of all time. Anyone who uses this word in everyday conversation scores mad points with me, lol; especially if they get the intonation just right. :)

[o'queery]

effortless

:blush:

[C0LLETTE]

"gefilte"... makes some people shudder; makes some people smack their lips

[Ginger]

"loathe"

"I loathe you" ... so smooth, so languidly venomous, so much more deeply cutting than "I hate you". The trick is to say it slowly with a straight face after a long pause.


See bolded text: New favorite phrase

[Smiling]

Hardscrabble.

When I hear this word used, I picture sad faces from the Dustbowl and a stark backdrop of barren land.

I love this word not just for the imagery it evokes, but also because it can be used in a hyperbolic way; and I love dramatic language a lot.

Also, falderol is one of my most favorites of all and I get teased often and a lot of blank stares about using it in everyday conversation, but I will never stop saying it. :)

[Daktari]

Scran = Food: UK, generally north eastern/Geordie

Current favourite word is interrobang

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q8/scoobs63/interrobang_zpscb0a78cc.png

[Smiling]

Arpeggio.

I like the way it sounds and, in this word, the occurrence of double Gs. I love double Z words, but other than that I am not really a huge fan of double consonants.

Arpeggio is an amber-colored word with little effervescent bubbles (kind of like champagne or a lightly-colored draught beer) in my mind. I also enjoy how the double Gs make a J sound together.

I don't care for the aesthetics of the letters together; it has too many vowels in it; but I like the visuals of the word as I hear it spoken.

[tapu]

Pork

Not sure why but that word has always made me smile when I say it.

[C0LLETTE]

"bucolic"

What an unfortunate word. Is Bucolic Plague a spoonerism or a malapropism?

[*Anya*]

"bucolic"

What an unfortunate word. Is Bucolic Plague a spoonerism or a malapropism?

I have not heard that before!

Bucolic is such a lovely word, vs. Bubonic plague!

[C0LLETTE]

"clever"

all the admirable aspects of intellect in sum

That word from the 80's just won't leave me!
