It means so much to so many, but seems to have suffered from disuse. Kids of all ages can say it with ease and sound really smart. I recently made a new friend who uses the word to describe a plethora of situations. New friend; same old word.

The word “pearl” sounds beautiful, sensuous, mysterious and colourful just like pearls actually are, considering they are made from an irritating speck of sand!

I like this word because that is how we are to treat each other, with God’s lovingkindness. I always smile when I see this word!

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.
