Formication

Favorite Word: Formication

Why?: This word for the feeling of ants crawling over your skin is one I sometimes use for the tingling of an extremity “going to sleep”. Whether that’s an accurate usage or not, the propinquity of this word to another with a more scatological meaning still makes it a fun one [...]

primeval

Favorite Word: primeval

Why?: I love this word because it describes the world untouched by human hands — Eden garden as it was in the first days, before the ‘prime evil’, the ‘original sin’, when the Trickster ego convinced Man that he had the right to exploit his fellow creatures and rape his Mother [...]

Abysmal

Favorite Word: Abysmal

Why?: This is just so fun. It has the same root as abyss. It means appalling, horrible, awful- stuff like that. But in a melodramatic way! “My day was so absolutely abysmal!”

gloaming

Favorite Word: gloaming

Why?: An obscure word for the eerie time after sunset and before dark, the “blue hour”. In a family of beautiful words–dusk, twilight, crepuscular–gloaming really sticks out to me as an onomatopoetic embodiment of the light after the sun is gone, but before night has settled in. Soft, quiet, glowing, almost [...]
