Wordicuffs

The verbal version of fisticuffs. The perfect word to describe an argument. And it’s a delight to say.

Contrafibularities
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
This is not, I must confess, a real word. But it is taken from Blackadder 3, when Edmund Blackadder says, “Well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities” to Doctor Samuel Johnson, author of the dictionary, who subsequently scribbles yet more words down. I hope for the day that it is classified as a real word.

Regardless
Filed Under R | Leave a Comment
I tend to digress a lot when I speak, making “regardless” the ultimate safety net. Useful for stopping other peoples’ tangents in their tracks, too. Someone starts to go off-topic, just slap ‘em with a “regardless” and throw your hands in the air. Works every time.

Tertiary
Filed Under T | Leave a Comment
This word follows the sequence: primary, secondary, tertiary. I like it because of the way that it sounds. I also like it because 3 is my lucky number, and this is a fancy way of saying ‘third.’
