It sounds lovely, alive, playful, and looks beautiful when written.

Just saying the word “elongate” makes me feel so much taller.

Exegesis
Filed Under E | Leave a Comment
Because religious or militaristic lexicons seems always to get the best words, sadly. Saying exegesis is like eating - it has a visceral feel.

I just love the way it sounds: “I was ensorceled the moment I met her.”

Empyreal
Filed Under E | Leave a Comment
While many people know the homophone imperial, empyreal has a unique spelling. And unlike its sound-a-like which refers to earthly dominion, the things this word describes are unconquerable, which to me makes the word pure and brilliant.

Episcopalian

How can you not love Episcopalian? The ppp-ps . . . the crisp c . . . the hiss of the s . . . the piquancy of the a. It is simply a swell word.

Ethos
Filed Under E | Leave a Comment
It’s just a great, time-saving word with which lots of people are unfamiliar. I like to use it in relation to myself. (”That just goes along with my ethos.”) Saves me the time and trouble of having to offer any more of an explanation. And most of the time, if people don’t know what it means, they won’t ask, for fear of embarrassment.

Extraordinary
Filed Under E | Leave a Comment
I like this word because it’s often a good substitute for the word “incredible” which is so overused, and so inaccurately used. Very few things are really incredible, but many are extraordinary.

Eschew obfuscation
Filed Under E | Leave a Comment
Let me add my vote in favor of this potent little phrase. In a car, in a conversation with a friend where this came up as a perfect explanation of what lawyers should TRY to do, another occupant of the car asked: “What language is that?”
