When you say “like” you have made no commitment to an idea or action, but at the same time you have made your point clear and assertive. And you can use it when you “like” something. Again, no real commitment to love or obsession, but simply something that brightens your day or make you smile. Just as the word “like” does to me. I like “like”.

Befuddle
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Well, this has been a favorite of mine for a few years now. The definition of befuddle is to confuse, but the word itself, in my mind, just sticks out as a unique and quirky word. Befuddle… Just a fun word to say and adds a little variety to anyone’s vocabulary. Usually my friends are befuddled when I use the word befuddle because they do not know what befuddle means.

Though it is from Yiddish, I have always been a big fan of this word. It is used to describe a trip that is tedious, awkward or slow, or to describe a person who fits the same criteria. I really like this word because it’s meaning is felt when the word is spoken. It’s a word that could never have meant anything else, because its perfect right where it is.

Mischievous
Filed Under M | Leave a Comment
At around eight years old I ended up with an old copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. “Mischievous” was the first word I came across that I had to look up in the dictionary. I was obsessed with the way the sound of the word seemed to fit the meaning so well (roguishly, playfully annoying) and for about a year I called everything mischievous.
Also, until my late twenties, I pronounced it mis-chee-vee-ous. Then I heard someone say mis-chu-vus and nearly fell out of my seat. Like an old love rekindled, I saw the word in a whole new way. It’s a beauty no matter how you pronounce it.

Nonchalant
Filed Under N | Leave a Comment
Because it is the word that completely sums me up. It also sounds nice when you say it. It stems from old French (the present participle of chalant is chaloir, which means “to be concerned”) and French is my favorite language!

Vivacious

Vivacious means “lively in temper, conduct, or spirit”. To me, the word itself -when spoken- sounds like its meaning. It’s something positive and sounds that way too.

sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
The common vernacular for this common condition (”brain-freeze”) is well-known. Who would have thought there’s an obscure medical term for the same thing?

viscosity
Filed Under V | Leave a Comment
I love the way this word sounds when said aloud. It also reminds me of chemistry, and I am a huge science nerd. Finally, delicious things are viscous– syrup, milkshakes, gravy, sauces, etc.
