It's a wonder you don't beat me up every time we talk, especially considering that I'm mostly sure I've told you I was being facetious more than once. From now on, you have my permission to punch me if I tell you that again (although I prefer it to not be in my face area).<br /><br />Words I don't like, simply because they're stupid:<br />Stupid, fork, ugly, sponge, resume (and resume; pick your pronunciation), spork, spoon (any word referring to silverware or cookware in any way), jelly, couch (I mean, really. A blob of sounds. Gross), and And. That one is the most irritating one of all. <br /><br />Words I like for the heck of liking them: supercalifragilisticexpialidotious, pleasurable, excited, anyhoo, lawl, doctor (that one is just fun to say over and over again), tree (with an extra emphasis on the eeeee's), antidisestablishmentarionism (a super complicated word that means 'rebellion'. Much more fun to say), marvelous, specific, pudding.<br /><br />The End.<br /><br />Also, ukulele. It's fun to say, spell, look at. Try not to love it.

Loaf I probably like because I associate it with my cat (when she tucks her paws and tail in she becomes a catloaf). Facetious is a fun word. The problem is that people use it incorrectly. They're not being facetious, they're being stupid; even more so for thinking they're being facetious. And I don't hate luscious.<br /><br />Flaccid might be my least favorite word. Also any word meaning to regurgitate (including that one).<br /><br />Great word: susurrus (also, susurration). I can't decide whether mellifluous is great or horrible. Also, I like any word that sounds like it would sound if it did, in fact, make a sound. Like glint. Or glitter. Or glisten. Usually they are visual effect kinds of words. And they don't all start with "gli," I promise.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895836001477562392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053465569039547617.post-52162890300608959202011-02-09T17:42:07.703-08:002011-02-09T17:42:07.703-08:00Oh yeah.
