As it says on my sidebar, I like big wordy thingies.
For your reading pleasure, I thought I might share a few with you. Some of them are quite relevant at present.
Intransigence: Refusing to moderate a position, especially an extreme position; uncompromising
Pernicious: causing insidious harm or ruin; ruinous; injurious; hurtful
Apropos: with reference to; concerning.
Surfeit: an overabundant supply : excess
Insouciant: carefree
Soporific: sleep inducing or sleepy
Mendacious: given to or characterized by deception or falsehood or divergence from absolute truth
Circuitous: Having a circular or winding course, not the most direct route, not being forthright or direct in language or action
There are lots more, but I shan't bore you.
What is your favourite word? Perhaps put it in a sentence.
Have quite a few words but none that pop into my mind. But I have had a soft spot for kaleidoscope ever since i was little.
ReplyDeleteI love 'fascinating'. I think I shall start using pernicious more frequently too.
ReplyDeleteSerendipity--I love this word. On birthdays and anniversaries, I wish those dear to me a serendipitous year.
ReplyDeleteI rather like somnambulant, fortuitous, and excruciating. I'm also rather fond of ringtoniate, and Tonydanzaphobia. No, they're real. I saw them on the net. Honest.
ReplyDeleteI like to use pernicious and malicious together. Ebullient is an old favourite. Colour descriptions also favour the word lover - azure, crimson, chartreuse, russet....
