Favorite word.. Hmm

I used to really like the word German, hence the screename.

Pigeon is another good word for some reason, it has a good sound.

Is that because you dont like them, hence German / Terminator, Germanator.? Or are you German and a terminator?

I dont like Germans, I cant say I met any I liked anyway, I even lived in Germany so I have first hand experience. I too use the word German a lot, often coupled with Lies. For example, you are watching the Grand Prix and your favourite racer gets overtaken. I will shout something like 'You Cheating German Lies' even if the other racer is not German and did not cheat.

Yes I use these words completly out of context. But read my previous post about 'Lies' and it may make things less confusing.

Lies!

There's a Dutch 'word' I really like: belacheloos. Or ongelofeloos. They're supposed to be belachelijk and ongelofelijk, but when you replace lijk with loos, you reverse the meaning (loos probably reminds you of loss).
So when you say something is belacheloos, you imply that it's ridiculous, but literally you're saying it's not.

Some people started using it on a forum 6 years ago. I kept saying it in real life and now slowly other people are starting to adapt. :D

I think we should all give a salute to the word manhole.
