Favorite words

[tatmmw2]

As always, I'm bored, and I wanted to make a boring game no one will participate. I'm a curious kid, so I want to know your opinions about this. The game is just to write the most wonderful word you know, you think it is, of any language. A word that has meaning to you, or that you like to prounounce it or the song it makes, etc. Not your favorite word that you use a lot or that you like the object/thing like (Beer). A word, for me maybe it would be magpie, a crow of a black and white color I recently find out that exists.

It's a game so it's just to share, you can post a word as many times as you like. Just to repeat a little, a word can be anything, you don't have to explain why you choose it, just a little game of "expression"? Don't know, hope some of you play :)

****. Also known as the F word, F bomb etc. Maybe the most versatile word in the English language.

[tatmmw2]

I was sure I need to add that as a 2nd example.

See? That word is just amazing!! It doesn't have to be classy either, it can be something as simple as love.

Other one:

Harlquin, this one I just like the word a lot.

There are some words I just like the sound of for no particular reason:

Transom - the strengthening crossbar set above a window or door, or the flat surface forming the stern of a boat.

[tatmmw2]

Another cool word for me is VON which is hope in icelandic.

[Camo]

I love shenanigans, its just fun to say and it reminds me of the Carry On films or something haha.

Also abomination. I can't not laugh when i hear that because of the way Sean Lock used/said it in one of the Big Fat Quiz of the Years.

[CosmicRunaway]

Die Vergangenheitsbewältigung, because combining an entire phrase or sentence into just one word is very efficient, and also very German.

[Yoda]

I like myopic. Not so much for the phonetics (though it does sound pretty nice to say/hear), but because I find it describes a lot of things I run into. So much that I often find myself struggling for an appropriate synonym to avoid repeating it over and over.

[christine]

Nice topic. I'm interested in words and the origins of words

I love all those specialist building terms too HG. There's some great ones to do with roofs - I like the words soffits and purlins. I learnt a new one the other day - flaunching, it's the mortar roofers use to bed in a chimney pot onto the stack.

[TONGO]

Catharsis

the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.

:up:

[TONGO]

Rigmarole has always been one of my favorites.

lol! So thats how its spelled. I dont think Ive ever seen that word written before, didnt even think it was a real word.

[CiCi]

Gargantuan has always been a favourite of mine, just like Elle Driver :D

I also massively prefer "Je t'aime" over "I love you" I just think it sounds a lot nicer!

gutpunch!

Yeah it does.

[tatmmw2]

Colibrí. I love this bird and the name is so beatiful too :), the pronunciation as well but in spanish.

[honeykid]

Wonderful. It's my favourite word.

[Sexy Celebrity]

:up:

I like that word and what it means, too. I swear you've got to be my evil twin. I'm noticing us picking the same things and even thinking about the same threads to create lately. You know that "pick actors to play MoFos" thread you made the other day? I thought about making the same, but didn't 'cause I thought it had already been done before.

That was Mitchell Brook primary school's play wasn't it? I laughed my a**e of at that! :laugh:

Same episode but no. It was about the guy who had a baby, James Corden was cracking up when Sean was writing it down, i don't know it was just the way he said it was an ABOMINATION!!!! You can tell he really doesn't think that and it wasn't supposed to be offensive like if Jimmy or Frankie Boyle for instance said it, it was just supposed to sound so over the top like how most people take nutcases saying this tornado was caused by the gays or whatever.

Seans hatred of those kids was probably the best thing about the episode though i agree :D. Jimmy: They were incredible weren't they guys, c'mon round of applause, Sean: Are you kidding me? Did we watch the same thing they were *****., etc, etc :D

[sleightofhand]

I always liked Disgustipated, a word coined by cartoonist E.C. Segar, which I first came across as a kid while reading a a treasury of Popeye comic strips.

I don't care for the meaning of it, but I like the sound of word kerfuffle because it sounds so cool. The only person that I've ever heard say kerfuffle is Judge Judy, but it makes me laugh every time she says it.

[honeykid]

You've only heard someone say the word kerfuffle once? You should come to England. :D

[Camo]

haha. Kerfuffle is soooo English :D

[gbgoodies]

You've only heard someone say the word kerfuffle once? You should come to England. :D


I've heard the word kerfuffle a bunch of times, but it's always been Judge Judy who said it. I don't know anyone else who uses that word, and I don't remember ever hearing it in the movies or on TV, except on her show.

[tatmmw2]

Today I just saw this and I thought about a lot of relations that it have with a lot of things I did recently.

Chance, in spanish it's only refered closed to opportunity that's why I love it in english. A great word, with a nice sound with a strong meaning, and a lot of positive energy

[cricket]

I've always liked tenderloin

[tatmmw2]

Sorrow, what a beatiful english word.


Also while I was looking for this thread I realize this is my 1000th post :D

[dat boy Otis 2006]

Wigwam, Barnyard, Scotsman, Culpable, Gigantic, and a lot of other words.

[Citizen Rules]

My favorite word has to be love, I say that a lot in my reviews. Film too, I must type the word film a zillion times a day since joining MoFo.

[Derek Vinyard]

Definitely.
