View Full Version : What single word describes you?
In a book I'm reading the autobiographer (American lady) is asked by a resident of Rome what word applies to her and to where she comes from. She is at a loss to say for the time being, but he goes on to claim that 'Sex' applies to Rome ("everyone thinks about it all the time), and he says that 'Power' applies to the Vatican City (not Faith as you might expect). After some thought she says that 'Achieve' applies to New York and 'Succeed' applies to Los Angeles. They then go on to think what single word best describes themselves.
What single word would you say applies to the place where you live, and if you're up to it, to yourself?

I have single words that describe people of both genders. Most are unrepeatable though. I guess others have the same sort of words for me (under their breath) while they are smiling.

My name is German is derivation of STOLZ which means PROUD. Unfortunately pride often is my downfall and causes me problems.
Strong as in strong willed
Strong as mentally strong. I lost my dad to cancer and my mum briefly to grief when i was 17. I had to grow up mighty fast. Being so strong mentally got me through it mostly unscarred. I can take whatever gets thrown at me and walk out the other side.
I feel I do what I want when I want and face/tackle life on my own, so I would say.......... INDEPENDENT :D
and my house as.....DIFFERENT lol or as one of my friends would say HIPPYISH lol!!

Where I live = "Paradise" With Mountain views, & Marlborough Sounds
ME = SCOTTISH.
The city I live in is very flat, and it's also very suburban.
People often tell me I'm sweet. :)
Home - peaceful
Me - existing

Town - restless
Me - Misunderstood
home is HOMELY and town (Halkirk) is PLEASANT without any well-defined ethos as far as I can see. Wick I would term EDGY and Thurso ERRATIC!
I have struggled to find the exact word to describe me, so have plumped for OPEN
home - chaotic
me - hormonal
Place I live....lovely
me....at present, sad and lonely, but improving
Contrary --------------;)
Home - a lunatic aslyum
Me - stressed and knackered!
CAW,
Home - In the treetops
Me - Determindly optimistic.

You sure "illiterate" might not have been a better word?
A word to describe my home would be "bed".
And a word do describe me is "tired".
I noticed this is your first post Alan, welcome to the org. It is good fun on here.

Well Alan, welcome to the ORG and your very first posting. Clearly you have acute observational powers which are going to provide lots of future entertainment for us all or "do" you?
