GarthTheWereWolf Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Words have power, and there's so very many to choose from. However, not all words are equal. Some are just better than others. Some are fun to say or sound eloquent, and some evoke an unsettling feeling or have an inherent grossness to them that makes them unpleasant. So everyone, lets all post words you like, or words you don't like and expand our vocabularies together <; Feel free to add definitions/explanations to the word if you so choose. I'll get us started with a word I like: Twinkle And a word I don't like: Moist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbra.Exe Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Words I like: Coagulate, discombobulate, chinchilla (I love goofy-sounding words). Also "moist". Because people hate it, and it's fun to hiss out the "s". Moissssssst. (It also reminds me of cake. I like cake.) Can't think of words I dislike at the moment, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 23 hours ago, Caledonian said: Dislike: superb. (Like seriously what's that b doing there) Because it comes from the Latin Superbus, literally Above (super) Everything (bus), whereas super comes from simply above. Etymologically, superb is an adjective while super is a generic prefix that has become a neologism meaning the same thing. you could say superman or superfood, but if you want a space in there it's superb man and superb food.
