Easy to say, not easy to be… And sometimes it almost appears to be “me.” Some of the drivel i see and hear on TV. Oh me oh my! Makes me feel so “angry.”

This is one of those words that rattle around in your mouth like a stainless steel sphere in a pinball machine, before being shot out of your mouth to take its place in what is probably a pretty arcane sentence.

Grace
Filed Under G | Leave a Comment
This word is definitely one of my favourites. It is a very unique word and its meaning embodies the best in the human race. It may well be a word that is rather special to the English language as I don’t think too many other languages have an equivalent word. Grace is truly a concept that is immediately unnatural yet immediately beautiful, lifting man to a higher state. I think it combines in it both love and mercy and sounds so “graceful” as well.

Meander

I have always preached about my affinity towards the word meander. Not so much the definition, more so the sheer pleasure I get out of saying it. There is something fun and whimsical at pronouncing vowels back to back.

It’s not a strange word. But I love the way it sits on the edge of my tongue, and then leaps off hitting the floor with an audible plop!

Humble

Because you can’t pronounce it without adopting at least a bit of humility as you stumble over its two simple syllables. This word necessarily separates pride and selfishness from success. It’s an awkward word, neither pretty nor powerful when spoken, but it levels a conversation, quietly earning respect, and thus it stands up to its definition.

This word describes my teenage son’s evening banter with me over his homework and chore responsibilities. He niggles. Masterfully. And kills a whole lot of time in the process… I now just use this single word in response to his banter and he immediately ‘gets it’ and stops.

Redundant

I hear and read so much of it, decided it had to be pretty special. Looked it up to make sure, and sure enough it was. I mean, isn’t something expressed over and over and over again, trying to make a point; like someone needs a memory pill if nothing else.

It describes itself when you pronounce it.

The word itself is entirely not pulchritudinous.
