A hot, dry, dust-laden wind of North Africa and the Middle East. I think this word is evocative of its place and meaning. It conjures images of turbaned men leading camels across a vast, sandy desert to a palm-fringed oasis.

Not only is it fun to say, it’s a compliment of the highest form.

I like the way it feels in my mouth. I like that things should not all be the same.

Globule

A globule is a citizen of the global world. The beauty of mercury smattering and scattering. Nice sound too.

The word tastes so good and reminds me of the old “East Side.” But I hate to be in one!

It is fun to say. There is a dipthong. It is a pretty versatile word.

Oblivion
Filed Under O | Leave a Comment
The state of being disregarded, what can i say i like the underdogs, and the mournfulness is almost palpable in the sound of the word as one says it, oblivion.

I really don’t know… I think it sounds just great. The first time I realized it was such a great word was during a episode of Scrubs, but I don’t know why it’s stuck in my head like that…

Defugalty
Filed Under D | Leave a Comment
“Defugalty” means to screw up or make a mess of things. I would say, “That was some ****-up!” before I learned the word. Now, I prefer to say, “That was some defugalty!” It is an obscure word and when one uses it, others will ask about it. Vocabulary power! Amen.
