Thoughts on Life and Stuff (TOLAS)

Random in both frequency and topic, this is my life. Sort of.

These are a few of my favorite words...

I've done it before, but I'm doing it again.

Amalgamated
Chartreuse
Zoological
Prestidigitation
Serendipitous
Acquiesce
Effervescent
Cantor
Banshee
Dizzy
Cantankerous

More to come when I think of them...


I liked "Banshee" long before these came along, but they help.

    Recycled Comment Alert:

    Those are some great words.

    Phantasmagorical, xenophobic, denizen, assinine, and cryptic top my list of favorite words to try to fit into conversation.

    I'm going to add terpsicorean, SYBUNT, antecedent, and qiviut.

    pernicious, envelop (the verb, not the noun), penultimate, dilapidated, surreptitious, sybil, and wanker. Oh, and "strawberry" prounounced with only two syllables.

    Nice additions. Denizen and Dilapidated are especially great calls. Plethora, harangue, cadre, abominable, comeupance, and turgid would all be on my tier two list.

    I love Dictonary.com word of the day. I'm such a better man for it. Today's entry: congeries (n, from Latin): A collection; an aggregation

    menagerie, quash, crunk, fastidious.
    "dispositive" is growing on me, too

    Ooh. Pulchritudinous, conniption, sesquipedalian, fiat, axolotl, DeLorean, deliquesce, zugzwang, assiduous, and critwigm are good ones.

    Also, asinine and comeuppance were misspelled. Terpsichorean too, but I had to look that one up.

    hi. and hi again.

    Conglomerate. Coagulate. Andromeda. Bacterium. Hedgehog. Paranormal.

    Oooh, menagerie is a great one! I forgot that'd be on my list.

    Verbose, ubiquitous, loquacious, eponymous. There are actually a ton of great words for talkative. Garrulous and effusive are two more. Actually, that's all I've got.
