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…

Carminative
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
The sound of the word evokes the colour ‘carmine’, and the scent and flavour of ‘caramel’, and, by some extension I cannot explain, the effect of light shining through some clear, thick, rich, lusciously-flavoured and scented liquid. Perhaps one that is added to carbonated to water, to make an ambrosial drink, but whose flavour is so perfectly balanced that one might sip it undiluted.
I know what it means: ‘relieving flatulence’. I looked it up as a child, almost as soon as I came across it. No matter, it still sounds gorgeous, and the reality adds a layer of humour to the whole thing, and makes it an even more favourite word.
(It turns out that I share this identical experience with a character in ‘Chrome Yellow’, a book I read not that long ago.)

Phenomenal

Only its tender sound remains in my childhood. Whenever I see the sky and clouds, they’re always my Phenomenas. And in the moment I fall in love with him, really phenomenal! I love all my Phenomenas in my life.

It’s such an awesome word, and I use awesome in the biblical sense, not in slang. It’s like vastness, an expanse of sky, the universe, black holes and swirling nebulae. And yet it seems so earthy at the same time, like it’s an inner word, a core, like underneath the crust is a churning mass of energy.

Indivisibilities
Filed Under I | Leave a Comment
Typing, writing out, or even just speaking the word “indivisibilities” makes me smile because of the “i” found in every other letter! Try writing it out in cursive, and going back to dot all the “i”s!
