Salubrious

To be healthful. I just like the way it rolls of the tongue, and it sounds smarter than it is when used in an argument!

This word just feels nice to say. It means to feel two conflicting emotions towards something or to be unsure which course to follow.

As a noun, a sluice is a floodgate. As a verb, to sluice means to wet or to wash with running water. The way the word sluice sounds fits its meaning perfectly. The way the word sluice slides and slaloms off the tongue just makes the word a little more descriptive. It’s almost an onomatopoeia. It moves off the tongue in a way that always reminds me of running water.

Haggard

This word, which most people know to means “wild or wild-looking,” is actually derived from falconer terminology and means a trained falcon that, for one reason or another, has regained its “spirit” and returned to the wild. I think once understanding this etymology, this word takes on an even cooler meaning when describing a person.

Skulduggery

Because it sounds exactly like what it means. What else could skulduggery mean but trickery? I’ll tell you, kid…nothing. Nothing. Plus, I’m on board with any word that could be used to describe a plot against the Crown.

Onomatopoeia
Filed Under O | 2 Comments
A word that sounds like it means. Buzz, snap, pop. Just the sound of the word soothes the ear.

Defenestration
Filed Under D | Leave a Comment
Because defenestration is the act of throwing something out a window. I love that our language is so specific, as to have a single word for this action. Defenestration to me, describes an exalted arc — the brilliant momentum of something being pitched, outward through such a subversive opening. Who throws things out windows? Defenestrators - that’s who. So subversive an opening that the Defenestration of Prague is alleged to be what set off the Thirty Years War.

Blatant
Filed Under B | Leave a Comment
The tone needed to say the word actually sounds, well…blatant! So it always conveys the emotion it evokes.

Inevitable
Filed Under I | Leave a Comment
I love how this word just rolls off the tongue. And the meaning is even better. You just have to roll with the punches because most things in life are just inevitable.
