It has so many c and s sounds. It’s a fun word to say.

I like saying it. You know the salt and pepper shakers on your kitchen table? They’re condiments.

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.

This is one of those words that rattle around in your mouth like a stainless steel sphere in a pinball machine, before being shot out of your mouth to take its place in what is probably a pretty arcane sentence.

It describes itself when you pronounce it.

Chatoyant
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
I fell in love with this word about a year ago thanks to Wordsmith.org’s daily email, upon reading this delicious definition: “Having a changeable luster like that of a cat’s eye at night.” I love cats and cats eyes and cats-eye stones and things that shine at night. This French word sounds as lovely and sophisticated as the phenomenon itself.

Chartreuse

Besides being a beautiful word and super fun to say, it also sounds like it should be red, but it’s actually a hideous green! So, it’s beautiful, fun, and tricky.

Copacetic means ‘very satisfactory’. I have always enjoyed using the word because no one has any idea what it means and it has an extremely positive connotation. It’s a very satisfactory word, indeed.

Cleave
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
Depending on usage, it has two diametrically opposing definitions. To make or accomplish by or as if by cutting: cleave a path through the ice or to adhere, cling, or stick fast; to be faithful: cleave to one’s principles.

It feels good to say and rolls off your tongue. It is such an “agreeable” word.
