I’ve always felt this word described myself well, as I’m interested in a lot of diverse and not necessarily connected subjects.

Acrid
Filed Under A | Leave a Comment
Acrid. Acrid! A word that is simultaneously expressive, descriptive, and powerful to say. The word is a sharp reprimand, clearly expressing shock and disdain. You can almost catch a whiff of the offending stench as you say it. It’s odd that such an elegant word as this is used to describe such an odious thing!

It has a ring and says exactly what I wish to convey! Much better than ‘Bah, Humbug’!

It just makes something sound very special. I particularly liked it when Elizabeth said it in Pride and Prejudice.

Chartreuse
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
Besides being a beautiful word and super fun to say, it also sounds like it should be red, but it’s actually a hideous green! So, it’s beautiful, fun, and tricky.

It sounds lovely, alive, playful, and looks beautiful when written.

I always thought it would have been wise for Mary Poppins to subscribe to the philosophy espoused by this word, rather than doting upon the precocious nature of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Sabsung
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
Sabsung is a Thai word, the literal definition being, “to slake an emotional or spiritual thirst; to be revitalized.” Point being, it’s all about a personal revitalization. When life becomes a desert, sabsung is what you, personally, need to come back to life; it’s your ladle of water, your quiet time, a beer and the game, a bubble bath, whatever it takes for you to keep going after a hard day. It’s like the effect some people can have on you. They make you happy to be alive, reawaken you to the fact that you are actually alive. That’s sabsung.

Copacetic
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
Copacetic means ‘very satisfactory’. I have always enjoyed using the word because no one has any idea what it means and it has an extremely positive connotation. It’s a very satisfactory word, indeed.

Byzantine

The word is a tautology unto itself. It suggests complexity, architectural and artistic style, religious mystery, ancient charm, a poem by William Butler Yeats and my ultra-cool trip to Istanbul back in 1996!
