I was thinking about some of the words I hated today (always the pessimist), but posting such a thread would be against the delicate nature of this forum, thereby I have created this thread. Herein you can post your favourite words. As for mine: You've probably guessed the first ones - the 'Demonstrative pronoun + Preposition' mix (i.e. Herein, therefore, thereafter, hereafter, henceforth etc.) They sound incredibly formal, and formality is a good thing. Second, slightly political: Society. NEVER community. I prefer to look at groups on a (inter)national basis, but not local (which is, in fact, one of the words I dislike). Third, also political: Liberal. Discrimination is bad, children. I can't think of any more. Post yours. Don't argue, children. Ralph invented the conch as a means of speaking for a reason.
lol'd As for favorite words, I have a few. "Ddde." "Antidisestablistmentarrianism" "Spud" "Hat" "Orf."
[size=-20]yay! I loved that book![/size] My list more consists of words that are fun to say, like elk and the such. BB coding like a boss Elk! Transitive Valence Shenanigans Myrmidon And that's all off the top of my head. (Actually myrmidon was written on my wall, but same difference. :derpe
Pinapple...Don't ask me why xD I also like some of the more archaic words, I find ways to slide one in every now and again, (Hence, Thence etc) But when I am around my classmates I speak with as much formality as possible (To confuse them) But I try to avoid verbosity. My favourite words can be found I the sentences above I also like taking Children's nursery rhymes and making the near impossible for a child to understand. Eg. (Old Mother Hubbard) Old mother Hubbard went to her cupboard to get her pet puppy a bone But when she got there The cupboard was bare And so her pet puppy had none MY Version Chronologically advanced maternal figurehead Hubbard Proceeded to her internal storage unit To acquire her young canine companion a skeletal unit But unfortunately upon arrival and inspection The cupboard lacked inventory and so chronologically advanced maternal figurehead Hubbard's young canine companion was nutritionally deprived
- Twitch - Shenanigans - Behold - Worthy - Fare - Sail - Confound And there are others I can't think of, due to that fact that it's a bit early over here right now.
WHO DOESN'T LOVE 'Demonstrative pronoun + Preposition' I love the word verily I like ergo and alway use it instead of therefor
You don't want to know where we found the pineapple. Speaking of pineapples, Sponge is cool. Also Syameimaru.
Shenanigans is always good. GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY is always fun to say, as is flabbergasted. I also have an odd liking for saying words as they are spelt; I would say 'in-spec-tee-on' rather than 'inspection'.
Catastrophe/Catastrophic Solace Divinity Alluring Devilish I don't think I've used some of those in my writing.
