It feels good to say and rolls off your tongue. It is such an “agreeable” word.

I have added a “rate this” widget to the end of each entry where folks can rate each other’s contributions, but it occurs to me that it’s not entirely clear what is being rated. The post itself, I suppose, both the word and the explanation. Obviously, the more interesting the explanation the better. “I just like the sound of it,” while a perfectly good reason to like a word, is not all that evocative for the rest of us. Where did you first hear the word? Does it have any specific associations for you? Does it evoke Paris? Your first kiss? Third grade Geography class? Do you think the word has been unjustly overlooked? Is it, like “penultimate,” widely misunderstood?
In any case, if you see a post that strikes you as especially neat, nice or interesting, give it a star or two. Or five.

It means ‘the smell of rain on dry ground.’ How many words are there out there for specific scents?

No reason other than I can still remember learning it in a High School English Class.

It sounds exactly like what it means… like a butterfly. Like butterfly wings fluttering.

I just like how it sounds, especially when considering that it is a term used to identify livestock.

Silhouette

It drifts around you mouth and slinks off your tongue like a seductive plume of smoke. It’s just so drifty and porous. Silhouette. Mmmm…
