Favorite Words?

[Danielle/Evie]

Ever since I was little I've been fasinated with "furious" and "fury". I find it wicked fun to say and write

[Belial]

favorite words eh... hrm.

There's always Reave/reft. Sunder is good too.

But other than stuff like that, hrm. Malicious(ly). Flare, flare is a good one.

Hrm... this is depressing... apparently a lot of the characters that i write about aren't very nice people 

Oh wait, i got one, Seraphim... Seraphim is a nice wholesome word. And i even use it from time to time. *grins*

[Qualapec]

I like to use the word "sinewy" when describing somebody that has little or no fat on their bones, and is in great shape but isn't exactly buff.

~She-Wolf

[Akimbo]

One of my favourite words is (forgive spelling) discombobulated.  Don't know what it means precisely but it's something my Dad says when things go wrong. 

Random is another good one.  I have a friend who uses it constantly throughout conversation and it always makes me smile.

I also like the word bizarre, I always want to put an exclamation mark after it.

[Benchleyfan]

Not sure this really fits the category, but I recently was reading one of Glen Cook's Garrett Files and loved it when Garrett described Tinnie Tate as a "professional redhead".  It just tickled me.  Ok, tickle is a good word.  So is askew.   (That just popped into my head.)  Anyway, I'm going on very little sleep so I hope this made sense.

I notice that I use these words a lot:

Conundrum
Paradox
Contradiction
Insipid
Gnarled
Vanquished
Vapid
Insignificant
Intrinsic
Desperado (don't get a chance to use that one much)
Visceral
Brutal

My favorites change from time to time...

"Lacerate" used to be my fave. 

"Transient" and "Vagabond" are good. 

I've always liked "Outlander". 

And "asunder" is awesome...as in Torn Asunder.

Man, the more I think about it the more I come up with...I just like words so much.  They're so helpful in so many situations!

Oh yeah, some lude ones... "prostetot" when refering to an underage, allegedly promiscuous girl. 

[blgarver]

Oooooo yeah! 

I and my friends make up words all the time, and many of them just stick in our vocab.  Some are pretty black-hearted, but they're funny to say nonetheless.

Extralicious

Womb Turd - means baby, or child...or really, anyone who has ever been born. 

Life Gut - being pregnant

[waywardclam]

Outtuendo: like Innuendo, but you state it blatantly instead of implying the crudity...

[Roaram]

How about nappatite, or the hunger for a nap.

And I am not sure, but any one have any feelings on phonetical, as in spelling things fonetically? I can never spell it, cause I can't sound it out.

Personally, I am fond of subtle, cause the b isn't silent, just subtle

[BigMama]

I seem to be terribly fond of the word actually.  I actually use it in sentences all the time.  It is actually something of a problem.   

[DashJackson]

coruscate
velocity
penumbral
viscous
meson
ultimate
suffice
searing
kelvin
incandesce

[Lord Nedd]

Supernal is lovely, but hard to get into a conversation.
Confluence is a nice word as well.


Disheveled is nice, though saying to someone you look remarkably sheveled today gets bizarre and blank stares.  Go figure.
If repete is to do something over, does pete mean to do it the first time?

Words that I don't like very much include plethora.  It is so... plebian.  I prefer myriad. 

Oh, I suppose I like plebian too.

A thought on defenestration... I had one friend who chronically confused it with deforestation.  It led to some interesting conversations.

[Dom]

Lumberjacks are a leading cause of defenestration!
