Come to think of it, this might of been a bad idea.... Oh well.....I love the word GLIB!! ...and yes it is a real word!
I've always found tintinabulation a pealing. In truth, though, I generally love whatever word just falls perfectly into place in the context I am building. It could be nearly any word: tepid. surge, sepulchral, flushed, etc. It's just that warm thrill you get when the sentence perfectly aligns with image or impression you had locked in your skull.
...every single word in every single language that has ever been spoken... yes, even the so-called 'bad' ones... because words are what distinguish us, as living things... they are what allow us to rise above instinct alone and make the most of our free-willed status... 'bad' words don't make anyone bad... only how some use them can do that... of course it is!... who'd think it not?....
I don't really care for it now, but for some reason I loved trying to slip the word 'verisimilitude' into casual conversation when I first heard it.
I can say I don't love the word very as it is pretty useless. I do love the word eclectic. My philosophy and art is eclectic. Verbose. practical words that I love because they get the work done. slammed glanced smiled
For some reason, that word always makes me laugh when I re-read it in Lucky Jim: 'He slobbered on the stamp for added verisimilitude.' (The guy's sending a pseudo poison pen letter to someone, written with lots of spelling mistakes on dirty paper.) I am over-using 'bizarre' at the moment, can't think why. It's...
Catywompussed. Which means something is mussed, for example sheets in a morning, or jeans after a long car ride. xxx
I'm really fond of the word Ditty. I even named a few characters after the word. (Last name, of course.)
I'm going to have to agree with maia on this one...there's not a single word I dislike or one that I favor above any other word. To me, all words are perfect. I especially enjoy going to work where I constantly hear words I don't understand (because half the people I work with speak Spanish...which I sadly don't) and it's interesting to hear the different accentuation of the words being spoken.
It's hard to say. I think I like the word 'taper' greatly. A towering building that tapered into a fierce point. It also sounds cool. Taper. Oh, and smock. Smock, smock, smock.
Looking through the stories I've written this school year, it's clear I love BUT, AND, SO, and other transitional words. I totally (<oh, that's another one of them) overuse them in my writing. I do like exegesis because it sounds cool, and if you can find a way to use it in a conversation, you sound smart. Also, eleemosynary is a good long word that just means alms. Nothing like a long-winded word.
I have a few! The word 'snooze', whilst being simple, is such a nice sounding word that I can't help but love it. 'Awkward' is also one of my favourites because it looks like what it's describing. Similarly, 'mellifluous' sounds like what it's describing, it's lovely.
I don't know who originally on this board used this word, or if it was even in this post, but I love the word Ethereal. It just became the name of my book. I fell in love with it at first roll off the tongue.
