- 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

Infrared

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

A coworker came up with this one as a favorite insult I use for idiot drivers on the road: d****ekabob.

Also:

Fuggles
Antidisestablishmentarianism
Zoroastrian
Thespian
F***ity-f***-f*** (said quickly in succession, usually after a particularly stupid mistake in the brewery or home project)
Dipsomaniac

I have a plethora of them in my mind but I'm obfuscated.

 

[madscientist451]

[bracconiere]

[day_trippr]

Two words: "Trashelle", and "inexplicable"

 

[user 298779]

Two that come to mind:

Pedantic

a$$ hat (ok that’s 2 words…I can hyphenate them..)

 

[Dland]

I don't know about favorite, but of some interest, yeah:

Subterfuge, vs subtrafuge. Spell check only recognizes one of them,,but I do recall seeing both words listed in same old dictionary with slightly different but similar meanings...or did I dream that...? (pretty sure not, my dreams are usually weirder than that.)

 

[NTBeer]

Lollygagger.

However did we manage to win 8?
It's a miracle.

 

[kartracer2]

aluminum
not really a favorite word but depends how it's pronounced.

 

[bracconiere]

aluminum
not really a favorite word but depends how it's pronounced.

is it me or is either being pronounced ithere more now?

 

[kartracer2]

@bracconiere
I'll try,
1) ah-lum-ah-num
2) a-lu-mini-um
sorta,kinda

 

[bracconiere]

@bracconiere

1) ah-lum-ah-num
2) a-lu-mini-um

i always say that alue-min-um....

i've noticed recently people are saying Aye-ther, instead of Eee-ther......i'm glad we can have conversations, like off flavors, about words too! lol

 

[kartracer2]

i always say that alue-min-um....

That's probably better than what I tried. When I watch a TV show about aircraft or similar, if it's narrated by a "Brit" their pronunciation makes me do a "what they just say" moment.

 

[ehall]

persnickety - this was in a book I used to read my daughter when she was really little. she would laugh uncontrollably every time!

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Ointment

 

[seatazzz]

I just TODAY finally learned how to make Word not do the grammar/spelling correction thing; a multitude of words that I use in my brewing notes trip the damned thing and it was driving me nuts. A few:

Sparge
Overpitching
Krausen
Runnings
Fermonster

Not to mention it took offense at my spacing following a period. I was always taught two spaces after a sentence ending in a period, one after an exclamation or question mark.

 

[passedpawn]

I privately enjoy saying the word moist. So much so, in fact, that I use it inappropriately. But that's OK, because I privately enjoy saying it a lot. Aaah, that felt moist fulfilling.

Thanks for playing, see you soon.

 

[VApatriot]

My wife taught me this one a long time ago, it has it's place but not very often: dearth.

 

[ehall]

mmm moist dearth!

 

[Ogilthorpe2]

Stratus
Cumulonimbus
Graupel
