OT - Wordy Wednesday
Happy Hump Day, STalkers!
I love words. I cannot remember a time when I didn't write (okay, flashbacks before age 4 aside...). There is a word for everything and some of those words, regardless of the meaning, are fun! Well, they are to me. *biggrin* Taking a break from work/life...
Some of my favorite words:
- Skedaddle
- Flabbergasted
- Gadzooks
- Discombobulated
- Brouhaha
- Kerfuffle
- Shenanigans
- Forsooth
- Bamboozled
- Lollygag
- Malarkey
- Nincompoop
- Fahrvergnügen
- Piehole
- Fiddlesticks

I use "discombobulated" quite a lot. My favourite word with regard to the foul NPD BM, lol is the German word "schadenfreude" - there is no direct translation into English, but it means "taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune" - and yes, I do - as she took pleasure for years in making me suffer.
Kes, when I was little, I
Kes, when I was little, I thought the word was "disco-populated"! My Dad got such a kick out of that.
Those foul BMs need karma in the worst way...

Of course you can! I also like 'dipshidiot', which I learned here at STalk. My DH says 'dipshidiot' now! *lol*
So many!
Flustered. It's a common word, but it so appropriately conveys it's meaning! Spiralled. Chrysanthemum (such an odd grouping of letters to start a word!). Churlish. Heck. Which is with a period, not an exclamation mark and is usually said when I drop something incredibly messy on the floor or when something goes extremely wrong....I just love the understated finality of..."Well heck". Hell has too much emotion. Heck is such a sound of resignation, of pulling up my socks and trudging through.) Oh...Truding. Love truding.
I adore Kerfuffle!
The spicy smell of
The spicy smell of Chrysanthemums....mmmmmmm.
I just learned something (work) that has me feeling churlish with several people and I want to start a mini kerfuffle over it...
What is truding?
A spelling mistake!
Truding may be my new fav word. It's a horrible spelling mistake for trudging! I love the visual of trudging. From the movie
.A Knights Tale - Trudging - Meeting Geoffrey Chaucer - YouTube
