haven't forgotten you little English Forum...! Poor thing...she is feeling neglected. So tell me.... it's 2.18am right now and all my brain can come up with is: What are some of your favourite words and why??? Paradigm - sounds so solid...fits nicely on the tongue Elucidate - the opposite - it's like silk, like water on the tongue. I can say these two over and over quite happily... That's two for now... yours guys?  K |

Procrastinate - cause I do it so well. Lackadaisical - Yep, like it. And it was the Word of the Day on October 5, 1999. Gendarme - ??? who knows why ? Chanteuse - Yep, had to throw this one in. And the #1 favorite word of mine - Friendship ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Aww.. Margie! Complacent: because of those hicks in NZ. Self-Indulgent: see complacent. No, seriously: Paradigm: Because I know what it means and lossa peoples don't... It sounds so - Modern Concatenate: Again, sounds modern. It's strong and "there." Them's mine fer the day. |

I've come up with some more recently, that I just LOVE...here's a little P session: Pita - Very nice Italian bread in one context... Peremptory...sounds so very contemporary and it's so applicable to one non-piece of Italian bread... Prosody...the study of the art of versification (I don't 'do' verse, so it's fascinating). Procumbent...nice strong sounding word...and it pertains to lying on one's face - a position I sometimes enjoy shoving people into while I am winning at wrestling. K< !signature-->"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..."

I am terribly sorry to keep dredging up these old threads but I just recently discovered this forum. For years I thought that I was the only one with favorite words! My two absolute favorite words are: somnambulism- it sounds so mysterious and dark prestidigitation- it almost sounds like a parody of itself some others of mine are: legerdemain- another term for prestidigitation, it has an authority about it tintinnabulation- it rolls so trippingly off the tongue (as Poe noted in his poem 'The Bells') Ah well, by dredging this up, maybe you'll get some more responses! Ian Sing while you may |

Word of the Day for Friday July 27, 2001- 'Cockaigne \kah-KAYN\, noun - An imaginary land of ease and luxury.' This is from www.dictionary.com and is a wonderful way to explore new word meanings. They'll even mail it to you each day !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
