Words you like the sound of….

Under cumulonimbus, the schooner made its Quixotic way up the still cadaverous waters of the Limpopo like a skelf under the skin, or the tines of a fork into the earth.

I've always liked "pull my nightie down when you've finished".

Molgrips, that's beautiful, man. Beautiful. I'm getting that made into a tattoo.

Mellifluous. What a lovely word.

Museum. Best word in the English language, if you ask me! Mainly because of the meaning, which is "Let us think". Marvellous.

Molgrips if that was a song it would make men cry 🙄

Look, the brief was a coherent sentence, not a likeable one. It's a bit strained, but could make sense depending on context…

whilst

halibut

serendipity – my favourite word
Knob – makes me giggle. Along with Gusset and fettle.

Makes perfect sense to me ……..

It's poetic, man. It's the opening line of Heart of Darkness that Conrad scrunched up and fired into the wastepaper basket by mistake.

Sausage.

Applauds StefMcDef! 🙂

Lol.. plenty more verbal diarrhoea where that came from 🙂

Sausage is a great word.

As is flan

Oxymoron – hard work getting hat into conversation I can tell ya 🙂

and smorgasbord, makes me smile

firmament

spectral

pyrolatrous (fire-worshipping)

an example:

"That night they sat at the fire like ghosts in their dusty beards and clothing, rapt, pyrolatrous. The fires died and small coals scampered down the plain and sand crept past in the dark all night like armies of lice on the move."

This thread is just a meaningless list of words.

yeah so are all the others on stw.

Palimpsest

Palimpsest..? Is that like when something is THE pimpest plus a bag of chips and curry sauce? (EDIT: just googled it.. it should be just to teach itself a lesson)

potent

M6TTL:
When you live in a village called Oxhey, as I do, you no longer find the word Oxymoron has any meaning since everyone has an Oxhey / Oxy…. team name, be it the pub quiz or darts or tug o'war team!

Now, I wonder how many of you now need to look this one up: antediluvian.

Wetwang

Free

beer

I went to school not far from Wetwang! Pocklington (not quite as silly a name, I grant you).

verdant

Crepuscular (meaning twilight, also a nice word in itself).

Also; crepitus (the broken ends of bones creaking within the skin).

"Now, I wonder how many of you now need to look this one up: antediluvian."

Errrrr, not many I would imagine?

Quim

Panhandle.

I agree with Bunnyhop though, Serendipity is a fantastic word.

Spatula.

I have a girly friend who finds it irredeemably funny for some reason.

When I was a kid, I thought that "spatuler" (spatula) meant extra special

😳

Felch has a certain ring to it. Probably not to be used in front of your gran though…

Podium.

+1 for the fantastic word flange

Flange is getting it so far ……

archipelago

This is a much much nicer thread that that other one.
