A hybrid of ‘confused’ and ‘muddled’. A mutation which further demonstrates the state of the individual described, with a dash of humour. Gary New Zealand A mendicant is a wandering beggar, without the stigma attached to the word “beggar.” It’s often used to describe ascetics (another wonderful word) who wander from town to town. I’ve recently realized the hard “c” matched with a sharp “t” look and sound really good together – I have no idea why I think [...] It’s amusing that you can turn most nouns into verbs in English. I like this one especially in contexts, where it’s opposed to having the computer check something. Andras Mueller Leipzig, Germany The word simply sounds good when said aloud, and it looks good in its written state. Picture ships at sea battling the mighty spindrift they encounter! The word captures the feeling conveyed in all those great Alistair McLean and Hammond Innes books. Mark Anderson Cortland, Illinois I love this word because every time I hear it it brings a smile to my face. it sounds so much like what it is. I hear twig, I picture something small and, well, twiggy! More so, this site didn’t have Twig on its list, so I had to post it. Terra AZ A combination of eloquence and grandiose. This should be self-explanatory. Usi A word frequently used by 419 scammers in their e-mails (the ones which promise you millions of dollars 100% risk free). The word always makes me giggle. Mike This is my father’s favorite word. Because it says so much in such little space. In Danish it translates to three whole words! Oskar Denmark It’s what it is, verschtimmt, a hopeless mess! Jim Quincy, MA It is a really awesome way of saying “extra” or “irrelevant.” Plus it is just incredibly fun to say, and most people actually don’t know what it means – but they think they should know, so they go along with it. Stephanie it evokes strength and flexibility, beauty and simplicity, and the consonants gracefully use both the lips and tongue when saying it. Becky It reminds of dancing and partying, not to be confused with wedding discos though. Think of the way Uma Thurman says it in “Pulp Fiction.” John |
