Favorite Words

 

I wasn't sure where to put this, but here it is! Post your favorite words here. They can be your faves because of their definition or their connotation or because they're fun to say or something else entirely.

Here's some of mine:

Colloquialism ('cause it's fun to say)

Quark (same reason)

Serendipity

Moxie

Moonshine

Flapdoodle

Codswallop

Malarkey

Claptrap (this and the four before it are all synonyms for "nonsense"; I still can't believe "flapdoodle" is a word)

Gloaming (a synonym for twilight; I love everything about this word, from its definition to its spelling)

Susurrus

Aurora

 

Have fun!

Hi!

I really like "eerie" because it's fun to say! It also just has a creepy kind of feeling. Also "sinister" is a good one because it really does sound evil. And then "anonymous" is fun, too. I like words like these! :D

Did you know that 'kvetch' comes from Yiddish? It's a great word. (for anyone who doesn't know, and doesn't want to look it up, it means complain/complaining)

Kenopsia

 

The mournful, almost scary feeling when a usually bustling place, e.g. a grocery store or road, is empty and abandoned, to the point where the population seems somehow less than zero.
