Favorite Words

[SavageSteve]

There are words that I like to say. I like the way they sound-- almost musical in nature. They roll off the tongue without effort. Here are a few of them:

- Bollocks
- Solipsistic
- Lysithea

OK, so bollocks isn't very musical, but it's fun to say. Solipsistic is just awesome, and if you've ever seen "The Tao of Steve", you should get a kick out of it too. Lysithea is a name I recently ran across and instantly loved saying it.

So, what words to you like to say?

Hopefully, this post doesn't make me sound like a lunatic. :cross: I'm really quite normal. Ish.

I'm kind of partial to:

curmudgeon
troglodyte
supercilious
vernacular
glockenspiel
orifice
vociferous
obfuscate
plebeian

I could go on as I fancy myself a bit of a wordsmith, but I'll leave you with this final word. It not as much of a word as it is the last name of a well known scumbag. Actually, to call him a scumbag would be an insult to bags filled with scum, LOL!

buttafucco

 

[jpsloan]

I'm kind of partial to:

That reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers:

"Eschew obfuscation."

 

[Arneba28]

[Evets]

I hate all words. Therefore I try to use as few of them as possible.
So, if you should ever hear me say "Ooh baby", what I really mean is,"Hey, you ****, put on some decent clothes and stop walking around like a f***ing tramp!

 

[user 4295]

That reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers:

"Eschew obfuscation."

I too like that one. I had a teacher that would say that all the time, LOL! He actually went a step further with; "eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation", meaning "avoid ambiguity, adopt clarity".

It's funny because the use of that phrase in itself causes confusion, so it's a perfect example or irony.

Well, bigkahuna said aloha.

- Bollocks
- Solipsistic
- Lysithea

- Bollocks = woody (No, not that kind of woody)
- Solipsistic = woody start, tinny ending
- Lysithea = tinny

That is one Monty Python sketch that always stays with me.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Naughty - Especially when an English woman says it.

Flug - Yes, I know it means "fly," but when you say it enthusiastically while thrusting your hips, (Ich flug, Ich Flug!) it's just damned funny; especially if you've ever heard Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa.

Globule

Stryation

Helix

And the most versatile word in the Emglish language (yet fully censored): F*#ck.
