Favorite Words

schizophrenicroom · 06.22.2006, 01:52 AM

I'm a word geek. What are some of your favorite words, and why?

Here's ten of mine. I just like the way they flow when you say them, and for some, the meanings:

Irascible
Destroyed
Aesthetic
Serenity
Manic
Persifleur (one who talks about serious matters in a light-hearted way. describes me very well, most of the time)
Safety
Gracious
Melodic
Superficial

cliche- like the meaning
booty- fun to say
specificity- hard to say
simplicity- sounds cool

Sigmoidoscope/ sigmoidoscopy.
Peristalsis.
Sanguine.
Cathechresis.
Plynth.

You could almost read something into that. I am most fond of medical words.

Very nice. Apart from this one:

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Which is well known by proper wankers as a joke about volcanoes rather than a real word.

Keep trying though, maybe one day you too can be a utter cunt about words.

I am fond of this page: http://www.islandnet.com/~egbird/dict/dict.htm

Which is full of words for people who want to take up adoxography or who wish to become a satrapess', or even just those who wish to cease gauming.
