View Full Version : favourite words.
Was speaking to a lady yesterday, and one of my kids mentioned the word stuff, the lady said that this was one of her favourite words, so it got me thinking if anyone else had a favourite word, i dont think i have one, well not that i can think of at the moment.
so whats your favourite word, and why.
My favourite word is numptie, its such a cool word and does exactly what it says on the tin!!![lol]

Quincunx, which is the pattern of the dots on the 5 side of a die, is one of my favourites. Not a bad score in scrabble either!

GETTERFER YA BASSA as used by Billy connolly many years ago
I use Foosum (dirty ) and Trock or troc (Rubbish ) quite a lot in fact I got asked only the other day what one of them meant
I use Foosum (dirty )
One of my mates at Dounreay used to use the word "Bowfin'" instead. I'd never heard of it, or "Gowpin'", which meant your head was throbbing!! (he was from Ayrshire)
The word Hurpling (limping) is a good one, descriptive. Also like Preposterous espec when the person saying it uses their lips to full advantage lol
Also like the words grace, waterlily, and downhome, just for the way they sound.

I'll throw in 'sesquipedalian' at this juncture, just for laughs. Another one that does what is says on the tin. ;)
Always been fond of 'rapscallion' too, along with 'scudding' (as in clouds scudding across the sky). Let's face it, ye canna beat a good scud! :D
Obfuscatory, deodorant, supercilious, sibilance (along with plosive, of course) and intransigent also tickle me, but mainly due to their pronunciations.
Enunciate (ooh, there's another one!) them properly, and it's like a workout for your mooth. ;)

Scorrie, noticed your sig. Actually Sonny Bono hit a Ponderosa Pine. My ski instructor pointed it out to me, helpfully, as we went up by it on the lift, right before skiing past it on the way down. He must have been sick the day they covered "Inspire confidence in your students".

I like "treachery". I just like the way it sounds. Plus it has sinister connotations.
Traitorous is also nice.
And theres always Cazart.

Gimlet.
We nicknamed a lad in the pub this a while back in honour of his stature and social skills and it took him a while to catch on to the meaning we intended. This just made it all the more appropriate really.

I love it when my Papa asks me for "The themmit"..... usually meaning the remote! :lol:
I also love it when people say...."yee know yin thing" haha

Another one that springs to mind is....' shooosht!'.. as in to be quiet! haha:p

Cheers George. Sadly, Ponderosa Pine doesn't work in with any songs. Also, wasn't Ponderosa Pine more of a "Bonanza" tree? (I'm guessing you are old enough to remember Bonanza, the Western TV show about a 51 year old man and his three 47 year old sons!!)
In any case, it has been claimed Sonny Bono was assassinated by hitmen:-

Ponderosa Pines are very common in all the higher parts of California/Nevada. The Ponderosa Ranch was very close to Lake Tahoe, where Sonny died skiing. I am certainly old enough to remember the show (and it's still on in reruns over here!).
