1. I've always been fond of the word "dope"
Edited on Thu Mar-15-07 02:51 PM by sammythecat
if he's a big dope, I use the phrase "nice guy".

I also like to say "thanks". Always means I'm gettin' somethin'.

5. I am a word nerd! There are so many favorites
fustigate is one of my favorites, just because of the way it sounds.

Hmm... I've always been fond of the name MacDougal (say it!) because the way the sound moves from the back of the throat to the tip of the tongue. Ack-oo! MAC-DOOOgal. heh.

"turgid" is nice, but sounds dirty. ;)

I really need to think about this one.

12. "Lugubrious" is a fun one. Also, "Cellar Door" is supposedly one of the prettiest phrases...
in English, at least according to Tolkien: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_door

Ever had a teacher like that who'd tell you to look it up? I sure did, and she's the best teacher I had.
