My Favourite Word

[monique_minx]

Welcome to my new time-wasting, dear god she's bored and getting drunk again thread!

So I usually discover a new word and meaning every other day, I have to run and look it up, I need to know absolutely everything!

Hell, I've even looked up the origin of a phrase and why coleslaw is called coleslaw before!

So this is our Lounge vocabulary list!

So the name of the game is your new favourite word!
Give me the name, the meaning and where it came up along with any notes about why you like it!

Go nuts Lounge lovers!

VICARIOUS

vi·car·i·ous adj.
1. Felt or undergone as if one were taking part in the experience or feelings of another: read about mountain climbing and experienced vicarious thrills.
2. Endured or done by one person substituting for another: vicarious punishment.

This word came to a lot of use between myself and my bestestestestest friend in the whole galaxy! She's about 2 states away and we talk ALL the time on IM/Email/Phone. She's my vicarious drinker and I'm hers. I'm her vicarious lover and she's mine....

 

[Niriate]

Bollocks

A highly flexible word commonly used by the English.
1: Something rubbish
2: A series of falsehoods
3: Exclamation on making an error
and ofc: Testicles

One of the best swearwords without actually swearing. I'm not a person who likes the American style swear words, so I love words like this one.
