Default Re: Favourite word and why

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.
