Mendicant
Filed Under M | Leave a Comment
A mendicant is a wandering beggar, without the stigma attached to the word “beggar.” It’s often used to describe ascetics (another wonderful word) who wander from town to town. I’ve recently realized the hard “c” matched with a sharp “t” look and sound really good together - I have no idea why I think this. Runners-up include retinaculum, ascetic and peripatetic. I love it!

A word frequently used by 419 scammers in their e-mails (the ones which promise you millions of dollars 100% risk free). The word always makes me giggle.

Moose

Even when I am feeling really down the word moose will instantly make me happy. Just say it, it’s wonderful, and the more times you say it the more fabulous it gets.

Mellifluous

This word meaning is something that is sweet sounding or smoothly flowing and I think the word itself is mellifluous.

Maniacal
Filed Under M | Leave a Comment
I love the image it brings to mind. The laughter of your favorite super-villain as he’s about to send the hero through a swamp full of man-eating fish. The look your mildly sadistic teacher gets when she says the words “pop quiz.” That attitude Nascar fans get when talking about their favorite driver, or even their favorite crash. Maniacal: there’s no other word like it.

Meander
Filed Under M | Leave a Comment
I have always preached about my affinity towards the word meander. Not so much the definition, more so the sheer pleasure I get out of saying it. There is something fun and whimsical at pronouncing vowels back to back.

I’ve always felt this word described myself well, as I’m interested in a lot of diverse and not necessarily connected subjects.
