I thought the other words thread was too negative, so I decided to create a contrapuntal one. In this thread, post words that you think should be used more often in everyday conversation, or words that you just think are awesome.

For me, "contiguous" and "unconscionable" are both great, but nobody ever uses them. It makes me sad.

[Splash]

That's because they make people trip over their own tongue. D:

I love "discombobulated," but noone ever uses it. Honestly, it is one of the most satisfying words I've used. :D

[CID Farwin]

"Flarg." My friend's family made it up, and I really like it, and think more people should know about/use it.

[Steel Samurai]

Antithesis. Kickass word.

[in the newd]

how about the word supercalifragalisticexpeoladocious.

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

Indubitably. And it needs to spoken fast. It sounds like it has more syllables that it should. I like saying it. Indubitably.

[CID Farwin]

That word indubitably needs to be more well known.

as does this one:

Lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypotrimmato­silphio­-
paraomelito­katakechymeno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­-
opte­kephallio­kinklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon

[Twinrova]

For some reason I really like the words 'precisely' and 'perhaps'. o.o I have no idea why.


Also, 'fuck' is a really nice word too.

[Selena]

Lemon.




...You were expecting something else?

[Twinrova]

BOOBIES!!

[Meep]

Jack Thompson.

[Fyxe]

BOOBIES!!

DAMNIT gal! You beat me. ;-;
Wait, that's a good one. DAMN. Very satisfying to say, and doesn't really sound vulgar either. Not many words are like that.

Also I've become obsessed with 'bewb', which is just a totally cute way of saying boob. *nods*

I'm gonna go away and think of something more sophisticated now. Wait, there's one. Sophisticated. I like that word.

[Steel Samurai]

Immaterial. Also an awesome word.

[Chikara Nadir]

Sects. But only when said out loud. >.>

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Damned fun to memorize.

OCEAN! It's great for the tongue. Oooooh-shi-yon!

[Keen]

Things I'd like to hear more include "often" with a silent 't', "nuclear" with no extra 'u', "uvula", "peripheral", "shrapnel", "ligament", and anything stemming from "exe-".

[D~N]

Nevertheless, ergo, forsooth, draconian, wisearce, tomfoolery, quagmire, plethora, and brazen to name a few.

I have a much longer list of awesome words...but I'll hold off for now.

[Toxin]

generously proportioned and i love saying ship like ssshhhhiiiiiiiiii.....p and maybe klblamo from thelonelyisland club

[SnowsilverKat]

Defenestrate.

[Chikara Nadir]

Defenestrate.

YES. Defenestrate for the win!

Also...dirge. >.> I <3 it.

[Goose]

Chunder. Thunder. Plunder. Blunder.

Chowder.

"Say Chowda!"

"Shouder"

"Say Chowda!"

"Shouder"

[SnowsilverKat]

I pronounce it 'Chowdaah,' but that's just Rhode Island influence.

[Chikara Nadir]

Chow-durr. That's how I pronounce it...but then again, I'm a west-coaster. o.o

[DarkJuno]

Groin spawn.

Not one word? Whatever. Still deserves to be used far more often.

[Reflectionist]

Things I'd like to hear more include "often" with a silent 't', "nuclear" with no extra 'u', "uvula", "peripheral", "shrapnel", "ligament", and anything stemming from "exe-".

I think the only person I've heard pronounce 'nuclear' wrong is George W Bush.

My encouraged words happen to be.... ergo, vis a vis, concordantly, colloquialism, nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak, expiditiously (although i'm sure that's not spelled right), amongst, congregate, and that's about it.

[Vazor]

"Righteous!"

My second favorite word of all time.

[JRPomazon]

Word to be encouraged:

Fluffy

[Mad Scrub]

Funky junkie monkey. In that order.

[wisp]

hippopotamus, periwinkle, choo-choo, poopy, and tummy. A friend once told me that he could never say these five words and be angry. It usually holds true.

[Shekey the Green]

Yes, Rova. Fuck is an AMAZING word.

So is meander. and romp. And Chicken.

[Chiaki]

Objection! Like, instead of no. XD
