Re: whats your favorie word
^^ To be fair, she spelt it right in her post!
Anywho - not something I've ever thought about. I shall have a think! I do have some words that make me cringe though - moist. Something about that word just sends shivers through me!

I thought it may have come across as me being a grump, but I'd never say something mean on here. OR if I did, it would only ever be in jest.

Re: whats your favorie word
I can't think of a favorite, but I can definitely think of LEAST favorite.. moist is definitely up there, but I would have to say 'crestfallen' is my least favorite cause its just so damn depressing. Everything that word means just makes me so sad... its like when no one shows up to your birthday party!
I'll have to think on favorites though, I know I have some...

Re: whats your favorie word
I think about this a lot. I love words more than most other things in life.
As with all my other 'favourites', they are prone to change. My current favourites are
Mollusc.
Hillock.
Rudimentary.
Cranium.
Impudent.
Bilious.
Tripe.

Re: whats your favorie word
I love words too!
At the moment I like:
Chiaroscuro
Antebellum
Cosmonaut
Hordeolum
Serpentine
Deliberation
Hordeolum is a new one I just discovered today. I woke up with a really irritating stye in my right eye - a hordeolum is the 'proper' word for a stye. I just like the SOUND of the word, it sounds like it should belong to an old-fashioned musical instrument - not an annoying eye infection!

At the moment I am loving superfluous. I just love how it rolls off the tongue
I have always love the word archaic and the images it conjours up. Tom's favourite word ever is liminal. He uses it every chance that he gets.

Re: whats your favorie word
It is a lovely word; lots of really satisfying syllables and somehow describes exactly what it means. It is spelt discombobulated though.<<Miss_Sami>> wrote:Disconbobulated

100% agreed. Still, I'd rather say I had a hordeolum than a stye.PirateQueen wrote:Hordeolum is a new one I just discovered today.

Re: whats your favorie word
Dyslogistic - I love "Dys" words anyway, but this is a favourite.
Adoxography - I feel I do this for a living
Autotonsorialist - kinda fitting for this board.
Nepheligenous - guilty as charged!
Tibialoconcupiscent - learned this from a fetish mag of all places, it just sounds as naughty as it is!
Gymnophoria - I get this all the time. Probably because I am vain.
