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.

Extraneous

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.

It starts so softly. It fits frequently in phrases. Nearly no one knows it. However, it’s not my favorite anymore.

A woman with a lively, sparkling personality with - is that a glass of champagne in her hand? Can’t you just feel the bubbles tickling your tongue? Ahh, say it slowly … effervescent.

Most online dictionaries give the definition as “having the ability, or power, to change the mind,” but I like a more literal interpretation: “mind bending” (flex + animus).

Not only is it fun to say, it’s a compliment of the highest form.

I really don’t know… I think it sounds just great. The first time I realized it was such a great word was during a episode of Scrubs, but I don’t know why it’s stuck in my head like that…

The word itself it lavish and opulent. Saying it out loud makes me want to throw an extravagant cocktail party or burst into a choreographed musical number.

To make clear; to shed light on. A very pretty way to describe “explanation.”
