Favourite word and why
Personally, I'm a big fan of "shit".
Shit can be used in various forms, from explaining you have just defecated, to telling someone how badly their slapshot sucked. And I enjoy that. Because really, nothing is graphically worse than "sucking shit". |
Re: Favourite word and why
I think my word changes per week, but I've always been fond of kinky.
I mean just saying it makes everything some how dirties. |
Re: Favourite word and why
Lies
Replace 'Shit' with 'Lies' in typhoids post to get a kind of example of how I use this word. It all started like this. One day, it was a lunch time, in my kitchen I found myself, I decided to make a sandwich, not just any sandwich, one mother fucker of sandwitch, it took time and love, by the time I had made this sandwich I was hungry, I mean I really wanted to eat this sandwich. On my way to the dining table I dropped the sandwich on the floor! :mad: And what did I do you ask yourself??? I shouted at the top of my voice 'LIES' and walked away. This made me forget what had happened, take a breath, then go back clean it up and have a cup of tea instead. Thus was born what I call the 'philosophy of lies' From this point on lies crept it's way into my life, it grew and changed and diversified until it managed to manifest itself into many different meanings and uses in day to day life until a multiverse of lies was created. The words true meaning becoming twisted and lost somewhere along the lines. Usually it's things like "Hey it's your turn to go to the shop and get milk" ... "Lies" ... even when it is not lies, it is your turn, what is lies (in the way I mean it) is the fact that you have to go. Adopt lies... next time you drop something, put your washing out and it rains, stub your toe or die on your computer game say LIES and soon you will see what I mean, what lies is and why lies is good. |

Petrified.
I don't know, somehow it just sounds awesome. I doubt it's my favorite, but it's in my top 10. |

Quintessence.
Cool sounding word, cool meaning, and in the coolest Shakespeare monologue ever. "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form, in moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you seem to say so." - Hamlet |
Re: Favourite word and why
Other than the fact i tend to not have favourites for anything, i'm not sure i could ever have a true favourite word in the English language. As the biggest language in the world (in terms of word count), you could probably never know every word.
Either way, here's a couple: Idiosyncraitc It has a very complete sound to it, i personally only ever use it in a positive way, if i ever describe anyone as idiosycratic, it's intended as a compliment. Sublime Again a complete sounding descriptive word. Some words lose meaning through there over use, words like Great or Beautiful can become some what disposable due to there apparent misuse, but Sublime remains a strong penetrative word. Ric: I do like your 'idiosyncratic' use of the word 'lies' :D |
Re: Favourite word and why
Clockwork
I like the look. I like the sound. I like what it implies. Faboo Elegant. Sleek. Sultry. And sounds great coming out of Wakko's mouth. |
Re: Favourite word and why
I'm not cool enough to have a favorite word. I use "craptacular" a lot though, it gets my point across.
I like the Spanish pronunciation of "Cuba." It's like pooh-buh, only with a "C." |

exacerbate
It is one ord that replaces many commonly used ones. |
Re: Favourite word and why
My new favourite words are 'Earl' and 'Three Dog'
Why? Because of the fun I had making these :tdgb: :tdgw: What's even funnier is how few people have noticed they have been added to the forums. I cant wait till BaB sees these :lol: |
Re: Favourite word and why
Ric, what is 'Earl Three Dog' suppose to mean, or what does it refer to?

The guy who posts on here called BreakABone looks like the character Three Dog from Fallout 3 and his name is Earl. Hence Earl Three Dog :lol: |
