The power of the word

[FungiUg]

What words have a special thrill for you? Or make you feel naughty just thinking them?

I like philately. Sounds like a chinese version of flattery, but involves licking.

Penal. It makes me giggle every time. Penal colony seems like something nudists might be drawn to.

B was considering another purchase this weekend and was debating the benefits of the Nook versus the Kindle versus the iPad. Every time he said Nook, I giggled until he eventually started referring to it as "that other one." Maybe I need to work on my inner maturity filter.

Or maybe he needs to buy a nook?

Defenestrate The act of throwing someone or something out of a window.

Yup. Makes me all gooey.

Or maybe he needs to buy a nook?

He did.

An ex partner of mine back home used to use the word palpably a lot, which means capable of being handled, touched, felt; tangible.

I thinkit was the combination of the sound of the word, it's meaning and his soft welsh accent that used have an effect on me

Maybe I need to work on my inner maturity filter.

Why would you do that?

I LOVE the word discombobulated. It's incredibly fun to say.

"Superfluous" is one of my favorite words. God knows why. I guess I just like the way it sounds.

Onomatopoeia has always been one of my favorite words.
