Indubitably

It is unquestionably and without a doubt my most favorite word for no other reason than it is sounds impressive!

Ineffable
Filed Under I | Leave a Comment
I like this word because I’m constantly frustrated with words and people continually trying to explain and describe things with them and in doing so completely ruining what they were trying to put words to. Some things simply are entirely ineffable. Also it’s kind of funny and hypocritical of itself because it’s a word saying words can’t describe something. WORDS! We can’t escape them.

Circumlocutious
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
I was an English Lit student in University so I came across some great words. I always found it amusing how some people can talk in circles without saying a thing, so circumlocutious: roundabout and unnecessarily wordy, seemed to hit the nail on the head. I guess verbose could fit as well but it has less of a hypocritical nuance to it

Nincompoop.
Filed Under N | Leave a Comment
My favorite word is “nincompoop,” which means “a stupid, foolish person.” I believe it’s one of the more ridiculous words to call someone, and I generally prefer it to “idiot,” “moron,” or “dummy.” For some reason, I find that “nincompoop” is just more humorous and better befits the person being described. Perhaps this is because the word practically defines itself.

Insatiable
Filed Under I | Leave a Comment
It rolls of your tongue for something that will never come or that you can ever come close to. A thirst or hunger that can never be fulfilled, yet the word sounds so luscious and attainable. I think Daniel Johns put it well with his song, “My love for you, Insatiable.” my first encounter with the word at a young and tender age.

Debauchee
Filed Under D | Leave a Comment
French words stolen for use in the English language are the cornerstones of pretentiousness, and a debauchee, or one prone to debauchery/excessive sensual indulgence, might just be apt to indulge in a little pretentiousness by uncorking this and maybe a few other choice French cognates for a splash of conversational panache.

Parched

parched (adj.): extremely thirsty
Parched is one of those words you can feel when you say it. Whether wandering through the desert or waking up after some ridiculous party, parched says it all. God damn, I need some water..

Syzygy

My dad prepared me for ridicule by teaching me how to spell my first word, s-y-z-y-g-y. A child in second grade can always use the study of heavenly bodies to her advantage.

I was geeking out over my other favorite words, tertiary and sylvan, to a friend and asked what his was. He told me circadian, and I lost it. Not only does it just roll of the tongue like some secret catnip for beauty, but I didn’t know the meaning at the time which is a rare thing for me today. It means something about 24 hour cycles in
12 hour periods, I think. It’s a good word nonetheless. Enjoy.
