Fiasco
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
I am so accustomed to working in situations that would be described as catastrophes or disasters that I am always overcome with blissful jubilation when things improve so vastly and dramatically that they can be termed a fiasco. I have no experience with any set of conditions better than this.

It’s the best one out of the words ending with the ish…. and it gets better the more you say it.

Forlorn

It is such an infinitely sad, but strangely beautiful word, meaning forsaken, left behind, forgotten.

Febrile
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
I love medical terms, febrile in particular. It is an outdated term that describes other medical symptoms that are caused by fevers - e.g., a febrile seizure (seizure caused by fever). It is a smart, quick word, and I appreciate that. Also, it feels good in the mouth - kind of chunky and simultaneously smooth. Very dichotomous and satisfying.

Furikake

“Furry-cock-ee” is a delicious Japanese condiment made of sesame seeds, dried seaweed, and salt. Typically sold in Asian markets and used for seasoning salt, it’s also great on baked potatoes, vegetables, chex mix… whatever you like! And it’s fun getting to serve AND say Furikake French Fries!

Because it sounds fancy, as if all the fanciness of the world is trapped between those five letters!

Farctate
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
“Farctate” is a biological term meaning crammed or stuffed, as opposed to hollow or fluffy. I like it because of its versatility. While it literally means “full of it,” it could also mean “easily passing gas,” or perhaps “blowing smoke.” In any event, “farctate” seems like a refreshing addition to the vocabulary of political commentators. (It’s mildly onomatopoeic, too.)

Feldspar
Filed Under F | Leave a Comment
I unwillingly took a geology class in college (just for the science credits) and we learned about feldspar, a type of rock. I’m not really interested in rocks, but it did kind of add a little interest to a class where I’d usually not pay much attention. It sounds so much like a medieval name, or some kind of knight, or a cheesy romance novel hero’s name.
“Why, Lord Feldspar, you’re so…”
I still crack up when I hear it.

Because sometimes you just need an obscure and classy way to say “two weeks.”

FavoUrite. It’s my favoUrite because it doesn’t have a missing vowel. Heh!
