Night, Smiley!

 

And I agree, Ayla.

[mmeeshal]

Great list. A new word to me recently that I love is proboscis, although I rarely get to use it.

[Crimson_Ayla]

Night night :)

[mmeeshal]

Some of my favorites: cerulean, vermilion, hypnogogia, salacious, lascivious, alabaster, vast. I also second recalcitrance

My favourite; Callipygous

 

Also perspicacious. And subtle (cause the sutle B that sneaks in there)

 

I LOVE perspicacious. I learned it thanks to Scott Westerfeld, in his Leviathan trilogy (which is SO GOOD).

I think that lollop is quite good. Onomatopoeia, I think :)

[mmeeshal]

Acquiesce needs to be on here

[mmeeshal]

How about, ‘melancholia’ for the ‘m’ list?

 

And, yeah…most of my favourite words have Greek etymologies Th. Science is full of wonderful language. Here are a few of my favourite cool-sounding words of Greek origin…

 

‘euphonia’

‘dysphoria’

‘heliotropic’

”androgyne’

‘tectonic’

‘photovoltaism’

 

…I’ve been told I have a curious aesthetic, though.

 

‘Aesthete’ is another.

[mmeeshal]

This is going to sound weird but I’ve always appreciated and held high the word: ooze. It seems so onomatopoeic from both a sound and touchy-feely perspective. The perfect word for the mud coming up between your toes on a lakefront beach.

[mmeeshal]

Bizarre

Blizzard

Intriguing

Lovely

Melancholy

Midnight

Nostalgic

Peculiar

Precarious

Precocious

Snooze

Twilight

Vanilla

Whimsical

I’m a big fan of “psithurism”

I like:- circumlocutious, hillbilly, periwinkle, snuggle, elvin, nuance

[mmeeshal]

I have read that the most beautiful word in the English language is the word “strawberry.”

[Crimson_Ayla]

I loves parallelepiped.

[mmeeshal]

Meh, I don't want to read through all of the comments. XD

[mmeeshal]

I loves parallelepiped.

I didn't even know that word existed. XD

[Crimson_Ayla]

It's a 3D paralellogram IIRC...
