    (Nerd alert!)

    You know that word that you just love to throw into a sentence because saying it is so satisfying?
    Or that one that you have just learned the meaning of and find yourself using over and over...

    My top five:

    - Pedantic
    - Syllable
    - Anomaly
    - Lover
    - Bollix (It just always fits the purpose!)

    I love calling someone a gimp when it's said with a bit of feeling and a disgusted snarl

    Pulchritudinous.

    Call a girl that on a night out and she'll probably belt ya. (Speaking from experience).

    When the girl goes home and looks it up, she'll feel awful guilty and the next time she sees you she will allow you to perform anal sex on her. Before even kissing! (Speaking from experience).



    without the anal

    You make a very valid point and I'm finding it difficult to find a flaw in your logic. :pac:
