Supercilious
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
Sounds amusing and sorta supercilious to use it. On a Seinfeld episode, George’s father used it to describe Elaine. Funny. Interesting etymology.

Stellar
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
It is just an all-around great word I use to describe how good something is. it can be used in lieu of more commonplace words like “fantastic,” “fabulous” or “amazing.”
Using atypical words in your vocabulary is stellar.

When said correctly, it is very impressive and incredibly fun to say…just don’t get caught saying super-flous!

A hot, dry, dust-laden wind of North Africa and the Middle East. I think this word is evocative of its place and meaning. It conjures images of turbaned men leading camels across a vast, sandy desert to a palm-fringed oasis.

Not only is it a word about the very quality of an ssss-sound, it has two of its own. Terribly snakey to say!

Smorgasbord
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
A massive feast or selection of edibles. It always makes me think of vikings sitting around a long table drinking mead out of skull mugs and gorging themselves while invoking the glories of death in battle and reaching Valhalla. Gluttony, sweet indulgence after death and deprivation, roast farm fauna, the drippings that come after the spoils of war. By the hammer of Thor, all good berserkers like a good smorgasbord.

I like the sense that it’s relative, if not subjective.

Skunk
Filed Under S | Leave a Comment
My favorite word is “skunk” because it makes me laugh whenever I hear or say it. I’ve had a few narrow escapes over the years from skunky annointings, and I guess it amuses me to think back over them. It just sounds funny. Say it aloud a few times. I’m sure you’ll agree with me.
