*snickers*

It reminds me of that old song...

Walk with personality
Talk with personality

 

[cantdog]

It's English. You can actually construct words like Balmorality and scandality, but I tried to limit it to 'real' words, ones I've seen in print.

I did this sort of thing at the firehouse, and we got 92 synonyms for "pussy," for example.

I'm showing my age, but this reminds me of The Logical Song:

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Ships

There was or perhaps still is a shipping line of coasters based in Rochester, Kent, UK that named all its vessels with unique words ending in ...ity.

After 100 or so years the names became fairly obscure. Alacrity was one of their early ones.

Got one. The concept a certain denizen of the AH is repeatedly trying to inform another denizen of the AH the meaning of.

Externality.

Constitutionality?

Impracticality?

How about - abnormality?

Ah, Firefighters.

Bad, Sarahh. Took two I was about to mention. Now all I have left is something I seldom, if ever, use: rationality. Guess this proves deviant minds think alike.

I am honored, sir.

How about - technicality?

 

[babiesmiles]

atonality
actuality

 

[cantdog]

Cool.

A buncha new ones! I am chagrined to have somehow missed rationality. But not shocked, because some of the big and obvious ones came to mind very late in the process. Vocabulary is a slippery thing, sometimes.

Rationality implies irrationality, which I shall add, as well.

I leave "quality" off the list on purpose, since it doesn't rhyme

 

[Pure]

logicality--less common than its opposite--illogicality
