Pulse
Filed Under P | Leave a Comment
I love the dual descriptive quality of it. Pulse can be a physical pounding of blood against skin or the “beat” of the city. It’s beautiful.

Twain
Filed Under T | Leave a Comment
Not as in Mark Twain, though that does give it a big plus. It means two things that are a pair or that are similar. Chances to use it don’t exactly come up often, but I love letting it slip.

‘Quotidian’ is not a quotidian word, so it’s something of a self-contradiction.

Supercilious
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
Sounds amusing and sorta supercilious to use it. On a Seinfeld episode, George’s father used it to describe Elaine. Funny. Interesting etymology.

The way it was pronounced in the movie Matrix was fabulous.

Stellar
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
It is just an all-around great word I use to describe how good something is. it can be used in lieu of more commonplace words like “fantastic,” “fabulous” or “amazing.”
Using atypical words in your vocabulary is stellar.

Vulnerable

Just love hearing this word when the L is pronounced. To clarify, a lot of people say “vun-ruble,” but I prefer “vuL-nerable.”

It means to separate parts or pieces; break. It’s such a forceful word and always conjures up images of glorious destruction, like “the ground was split asunder beneath his feet.”

Forlorn
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
It is such an infinitely sad, but strangely beautiful word, meaning forsaken, left behind, forgotten.

Commiserate
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
I like commiserate because it sings out to those who miserate alone. By having others or even one other to commiserate, one doesn’t feel nearly as lonely.
