Plinth

One of my favorite words is plinth. That word makes me and my twin sister positively roll on the floor with tears streaming from our eyes! We have no idea where it came from, I just said it one day, maybe it was an old crossword puzzle word stuck in my brain. It’s the pluh sound followed by the inth sound that makes us weep. The meaning has no bearing on anything.

Plinth: A usually square block serving as a base; broadly : any of various bases or lower parts or a course of stones forming a continuous foundation or base course.

    This is one of my favourite words too, and I saw stephen fry on tv saying it was one of his too, and if he likes it it must be good!
