Nice words

Sams63

What words would you like to hear more often?

I'll start by saying confectionery, it's a nice word which generally refers to foods high in artificial sugars and sweeteners. Cakes, sweets and chocolate would all be confectionery.

Cheerios.

You can't really use that more often but its nice to say. Say it....

mickstupp

Marmalade.

Say it slowly, it's great.

Ah thanks so much. Suddenly the meaning of the word confectionary is clear to me. How did I not cop what it was all those times in Tesco?


I like the work coagulate. It stops you bleeding to death when you shave

Gorgeous. It's a gorgeous word.

'It's a gorgeous day out'
'That's a gorgeous car'
'Candie looks gorgeous today'

More gorgeousness would be good.

I like polysyllable words like "unobtainable", "corollary", "mesmerizing".
"Confectionery" is nice and sugary
"Exquisite" is another one.

Proffer.

To offer in a polite manner.

Shenanigans is a great word.

Confectionary is a good one too, feels...sugary or something.

mmmm, "corollary" is lovely; it sounds like it is tumbling over itself to demonstrate its meaning in rhyme.

I like undulating words like "lullaby" and "suspicious."

Undulating is a lovely word. Makes me think of sailing.

The word "shite", it's sort of onomatopoeic.

cletus van damme

"methinks" is a word I think we should all use more often

flutterflye

I like propensity, precarious, plethora and facetious.

krudler

Labyrinthine is a cool word

jimgoose

It is my belief that we need a lot more of "discombobulate", "poltroon" and "knave", to name but a scant few.

I think I'll have (a) conniption too, though it sounds more pleasant than its meaning.

Cellar Door...apparently is one of the top words in 'phonoaesthetics' to hear

In phonaesthetics, the English compound noun cellar door (especially in its British pronunciation of UK /sɛləˈdɔː/) has been cited variously as an example of a word or phrase which is beautiful purely in terms of its sound, without regard for semantics (i.e., meaning).[1] It has been variously presented either as merely one beautiful instance of many, or as the most beautiful in the English language; as the author's personal choice, that of an eminent scholar's, or of a foreigner who does not speak the language.[1][2] The original instance of this observation has not been discovered, although it was made as early as 1903.

Gee, I never knew what that meant. Now I can proffer confectionery to somebody.

You discombobulate me!
