Best. Word(s). Ever.

[s_red830]

I'm a language dork, and take extreme pleasure in finding new and exciting words.

sissification - a purely BDSM word used to describe the process of emasculating someone (although not necessarily castrating him... lol)

ululation - n : a long loud emotional utterance (ty Dictionary.com!), usually in the form of a howl or wail.

What words do you love? It can be because they sound nifty, mean funny things, really for any reason that you'd like! Slang words are welcome as well.

 

[Stricter]

From the ancient world

Callipygian -- derrived, I believe, from the so called Callipygian Venus, which once graced one of Nero's Roman palaces and now stands in a museum in Naples.

A shapley backside, bottom, buttocks, or bum.

LOL, I am predictable (and I share your fascination with words, their sound, the feel of them on your tongue, their music), my pick is Amo, Spanish for Master and also for love...how fitting one word is used for both.

Catalina

 

[neonflux]

voluptuous
luscious
perspicacious

mariposa (butterfly, Spanish)
natsukashii-na (Japanese, no direct translation to English - sort of like enjoyable melancholy for days gone by - the "na" at the end is a sigh-like, "isn't it?")

cunt
fuck

(the last two because they so powerfully say exactly what they mean!)

 

[Netzach]

For beauty or interestingness of sound:

elbow
literal
arable
standoffish

fr.
parapluie
pamplemousse

 

[BiBunny]

The word "soliloquize" makes me grin, for some reason.

 

[subtleone]

Onomatopoeia - what a fab word that just rolls around on the tongue and of course there are some great onomatopoeic words that come to mind like thwack, slap, smack, swoosh and kiss

 

[Yang4yin]

onanism = masturbation.

 

[s_red830]

Spanish:
pantuflas - slippers
estacionamiento - train station

Ululation? What about a real webster-type dictionary - would I find it there?

I love it - really - it's abfab!!

ETA: Holy crap, there is it in my webbie.

Thanks, Red!

 

[Yang4yin]

frottage - masturbation by rubbing against another person (as in a crowd).

 

[Netzach]

I'm dying to hear from our resident non-native speakers on this one...I've always wondered what English sounded like free of syntax and just based on sound...

 

[ammre]

Bezier (bez-eee-ehh) curve - the mathmatical way vector curves work
Frottage - it sounds like cheese but it actual is the sexual act of grinding.
manhole - it's an opening in the ground or roadway that a man can fit into to do work. Clearly there is nothing dirty about that.
twat - it pops off the tongue and is such a cute name. I like mixing it with waffle when calling someone a name. Somehting about the two w's makes it fun to say. Twatwaffle.

 

[Yang4yin]

Pudenda - the sex organs.

I wonder if that's something else in Spanish.

Hey, no problem.

Yep, verifiable OED (Oxford English Dictionary) word.

(And AbFab... fucking amazing... you know that show, right?)

 

[mrbaddaddy]

[Vixandra]

Rather fond of these Japanese words:

nani- what
nani-yo - what the fuck? (rough translation)
nyu- milk
baka - stupid
tsubasa- wing(s)

As for English-
prompt
literal

I like odd words, I guess.

 

[lne_iii]

I used to get a kick out of the word fellatio.

 

[myinnerslut]

hebrew:

layleh (lie-la) = night
morah (mow- rah) = teacher

beherah (buh-hear-ah) (my hebrew name) = clarity, or light of God

 

[mrbaddaddy]

One I forgot

.....

 

[FurryFury]

I like the word, delicious.

My husband doesn't like the things I write that much well for the past few years. They tend to be full of sex and humiliation, not his things.

Early in online role play though I let him read something I wrote. At first I thought he hated it. He said it didn't sound like me. It wasn't supposed to because this character was mostly not me.

Then he said it was "delicious." He gave me a sweet little smile. In that moment I felt like all was right with the world.

Since then, it's been one of my favorite words. I've noticed I use it more often. Each time remembering when he said it to me with a warm glow and a smile.

Fury

 

[ammre]

Uvula: It sort of rolls off the back of the throat.
Sleeze: For all the obvious reasons
Meticulous: It sounds so much like what it means
Polyamorous: It's so natural
Twatwaffle: It's the funniest word I've read in ages

Brian pressed his lips against hers. Their tongues danced together as if they'd both been trained at the Ballet Ruse. Cynthia took his hand and placed it on her heaving bosom. Then she directed it downward, past her round, delicious belly and toward its ultimate destination, her twatwaffle.

BAHAHAHAHAH
AWESOME.


Turgid is a fun word...

My friends had a T(ea) party. Everyone had to come dressed as something that started with a letter T. You had tinfoil... tramps... tourists... testicles...

Trebuchet, awesome word.

Grilled cheese. (I once made about 50 of them and gave them away at a burning man regional campig trip. As i walked arround hawking them i found a whole collection of fun ways to yell "grilled cheese")
