Five favorite words

[lovecraft68]

Simple enough. Post five words you enjoy using or reading, the ones that for whatever reason give you a little tingle.

1-Gutteral
2-Succulent
3-Luscious.
4-Dissoulte-fancier version of calling someone trashy.
5-Malevolent-

 

[MillieDynamite]

salacious
lickerish
Fescennine
sensual
sumptuous

Oddly enough, I've only used three of them in any stories.

Sumptuous is a great one!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Sumptuous is a great one!

Yeah it is. I want to use Fescennine in a story, it means obscene. LOL but sound so much sexier than obscene.

 

[SimonDoom]

It's a great question because there are certain words I'm attracted to and like to use, but I'm having difficulty listing them.

A few I can think of, that might or might not be on a top 5 list if I gave it a lot of thought but that I have enjoyed using or wanted to use:

lambent
luminous
recrudescent
abstemious (not a word that's that useful in erotic stories, but it's one of the few words that has the vowels a, e, i, o, and u in order. The other more popular one is facetious. Try to think of another).

And I'll just admit, I love the word "cunt." It has a great, short, hard, kind of dirty sound. It has an old lineage in English and a version of it is in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and Shakespeare made a pun with it in Hamlet. It's a polarizing word, especially with women, so I don't usually use it, even though sometimes I want to.

EEEWWWWee I find it disgusting in the extreme. Yes, I have used it, get the visceral reaction. When women use it, they aren't refering to a body part, they are calling a woman a walking, diseased, festering CUNT! Just EEWWWeee!

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

Facile
Lustrous
Erudite
Nulliparous - it means never having given birth
Glisten - In my mind this word has a slick, oily, attractive gleam

Hmmm.... I love the word cunt and I do mean my pussy. Maybe I just never interact with enough women to hear it used derogatorily.

Also, I guess the people I know generally don't cuss a lot. Well except for the people I know who cuss in Spanish.

On that topic, here's five favorite curse words:
Fuck (of fucking course)
Dick (a proper name, a body part, and an invective!)
Bitch (almost as versatile as Fuck)
Cocksucker (who me? why yes, thank you)
Pendejo (as in: callate pinche pendejo de mierda!)

I disagree. While some people might think of the word in the way you described, I think it's all in the context.

Millie should meet some of the Brits on the GB Blurt thread.

 

[NotWise]

It seems like most of the words y'all like are adjectives. I find that odd.

I try to spread my words around so I don't settle on a few favorites. I like verbs rather generally, but I have to admit to a taste for "cunt." Take that every way you want.

 

[SimonDoom]

It seems like most of the words y'all like are adjectives..

This is a very interesting observation. I think it's true, too. Of the words I named, four were adjectives. I wonder why that is.

 

[lovecraft68]

That's how I feel, in the sense of using it in the form of insulting a woman, I don't like it (although if I'm writing a d-bag character it has its place)

In the context of sex, I think it can be a good jarring word when a woman uses it. For me, I tend to have milfs/moms any older woman use it, and have the man be taken aback somewhat and sometimes work a line in that they're women and hey don't talk like little girls.

I rarely have younger female characters use it.

Maybe because nouns are what they are, and the descriptive is what adds the flavor and context?

I think that's somewhat true, but I also think that the most important words for good writing are not adjectives but verbs. If there's one part of speech that distinguishes the best writers, it's verbs. Adjectives are the lazy way to distinguish one's writing. Smart verb use really sets a writer apart.

I saw this post by a writer about 249 strong verbs that will spice up one's writing. I think it makes a good point. Of course, there are far more good verbs than are contained on this list.

Honey, I'm in the MOOD!

 

[WinsomeWeb]

• Graph
• Wendigo
• Scallop
• Barbican
• Throat

Personally, I think “graph” is the most beautiful word in the English language. I cannot explain why. It’s a simple word that isn’t particularly versatile (except as a suffix), but, to me, it's just perfect. Maybe there’s something about the interplay of the ‘G’ and the ‘ph’ at its end that I really like.

Looking at my list, I guess what I like the most are words that have a good sound, not so much ones that have any particular meaning. To my ear, the words “Scallop” and “Barbican” are exceptional sounds that have a great rhythm, while “Throat” has a great gutturality to it. When I hear "Throat", I think of something like the roughness of dry ruts of mud, and I like that image.

I'm not sure if these are all my favourite words all the time (except for graph, that's Word Hall of Fame for me), but those are the ones that came to mind. However, I think words are a lot like colours, in that they look better together.

 

[NotWise]

Vix Giovanni caught me overusing "push" a while back, and that isn't even a very good verb.

Based on what I use, I'd say:

dance,
thrust,
writhe,
gasp,
arch;

are all pretty representative. I like short words.

Edit. I forgot "skitter." I seem to use "skitter" a lot.

 

[HeyAll]

No order:

nipple
breast
tongue
lips
mouth

 

[mynameisben]

Tits
Boobs
Knockers
Gazongas
Hooters

If I didn't have a one-track mind, there'd be nothing there at all.

[LAHomedog]

Okay, mine in no particular order:

Ubiquitous (In many ways my favorite word of all time.)
Fuck
Asshole
Fuck you asshole -- sorry that is a sentence not a word. I digress.
Luscious
Once

I'm with Simon. I like cunt as a word. (Well, actually I like it as a part of the anatomy too.)

I hate that politically correctness has banished it from the USA and I think that is a shame. It has started to become "the C-word" next to the "N-word."

There are times when it is the best word describing sex and also sometimes the best word describing a person. Elizabeth Holmes the so-called inventor of Theranos, the fake instant blood test company is a cunt. Not only did she defrauded folks out of millions, her fake blood test machine killed and maimed people. She is a massive villain, and a cunt!

BTW: If you want to watch something riveting and informative everybody, watch the HBO documentary. "The Inventor." You can stream it online if you don't have HBO. Everyone here like a well told story. Check this one out. An amazing documentary telling a mesmerizing story:

You do not have to buy the service, you can just stream the doc.
