Cerulean

Soft and piercing, cerulean catches the eye. tropical waters gleam of aquamarine and cerulean. Clean and calm it brings peace and ease.

Azure

The perfect day starts with azure skies. Azure is that color of blue that sits in your mind; brilliant and bold. The color of the deep ocean and great open skies. there’s freedom and mystery in the azure.

Snazzy
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
Not just decent or good, but snazzy. Snazzy fills in that small gap in verbiage between the good and the amazing. You know something breaks out of the norm and brings something to the table that any other great thing doesn’t when it’s snazzy.

Shindig

Who doesn’t like a party? A shindig is more than just a party, it’s people having fun and enjoying themselves. Anyone can go to a party, but you know something’s going down at a shindig.

Literally
Filed Under L | Leave a Comment
This was literally one of the first big words my daughters learned to use correctly (and impressively) at a young age. I’ll never forget how proud my oldest daughter was to pepper conversations with this word — or my shock at her usage. Eight years later, it still featured prominently in her vocabulary and also became one of the first big words from her little sister. I love words.

Unconscionable

It’s often appropriate, unfortunately. Means unscrupulous or without conscience, amoral.

By far the best word in brain anatomy; even more fun to say than hippocampus, amygdala, or putamen.

Retroworter
Filed Under R | Leave a Comment
Retroworter is the German word for ‘palindrome’ (which is a word you can read backwards, and still stays the same word, like ‘level’). The word Retroworter literally means ‘turn around word’ and the best part is that it’s a palindrome itself. That’s why it is my favorite word.

Posturing
Filed Under P | Leave a Comment
When driving to work one morning, I was listening to NPR and they were talking about the potential candidates “posturing” to run for office. I was approaching my exit, and I noticed the cars “posturing” to exit with me. That word comes to mind almost everyday when I near that exit.
