Word Delicacies

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Pork

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