    The power of words...

    "Writing," Abraham Lincoln once said, "is the great invention of the world."

    I personally am intrigued by vocabulary and the use of it. Think about it. What you say, the way you say it, can greatly impact another. Sometimes in a positive way, sometimes hurtful.

    Plus some words are just darn fun to say (or write)!

    Like, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" that's a fun one to say, and yes, I saw Mary Poppins the other day. Happens sometimes when you have kids around.

    What "words" do y'all find fun to say? Let's see what kind of vocab's you got going on out there?

    Hopefully you all get some in before 'sticks' get's on board with this, he's such a word whore/junkie.
    Don't you like it on the sly? Don't you like it till it hurts? Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?

    I have the most fun saying most of the "swear" and "racist" words. If people didn't make such a big deal about them it would take all the fun away. **** **** **** ***** Nig Spic Kike, etc. Ah that was super fun

    I love words! I work in marketing so I'm always looking for new words to say the same old crap.

    A few words that came up this week that I liked, one real one not real...

    I was watching UFC on Saturday night and the fighters get points for grappling. I commented at the time that the word grappling does not get used enough.

    On Friday night we watched the movie Running With Scissors (highly recommended if you like strange, off-the-wall stuff). There was a crazy psychiatrist in the movie who had a room where he went just to masterbate. He called the room his Masterbatorium.

    Two words that drive me crazy when they are used, because they are not real words, are Irregardless (Rich!) and Orientated.

    SB, I think Tex may need some time to recover from your list, especially now that you changed your avatar.

    Funny that you should mention this. Just this morning, inspired by the previous call to describe our "strange" ways, I mused upon this very thing. Mebbe I am way too far into mah head, but it struck me as pert near profound that the words that we use are not only indicative of our vocabulary (or lack thereof), but of much more. Without getting much into it, I think the words we use are as important and consequential as the clothes we wear, the food we eat and the air we breathe. Hermeneutics is the stuff that considers all of this, seeing words as symbolic depictions of what is and encriptions of meaning.

    Okay, I've rambled again....

    Words to like:

    Amphigorey
    Borborygmi
    Catarrh
    Digestif
    Ecch
    Frisbee
    Guppy...

    He said "pert". (snicker snicker)

    I have a frisbee that's probably 20 years old. It's my favorite toy, so what does that say about me psych_nurse?

    The situation is truly becoming desparate. There's no doubt about it.

    Can't do that. I'm emotionally attached to it. It represents fun times from my past. I hope I never lose it.

    Should I be saying this in the other thread?
