Wordsworth
We have an interesting new game to play with board post titles. As your post subject line put your favourite or least favourite words, make sure you say if it’s a favourite or not so favourite word. We’ll collect them over the weeks to see what words you chooks come up with. Maybe also in your post you can put an explanation as to why you either like or dislike the word.

| MamaBear Least Favourite Hors d’oeurve…I have to look it up every single time I want to use it! |
| Bella Favourite One of my favorite words is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Yes, that is the longest word currently in the English language. Supposedly it was made up by scientists to mean a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs. My mom says they use to just say silicosis, but needed to be difficult. All I know is it comes from the Latin thus it rocks my socks. Another of my favorite words is Schadenfreude; and I use it all the time. It is from German and it means taking pleasure in the pain and misfortune of others. I know that sounds mean, and it is but sometimes you just have to be grateful that you aren’t someone else. Least Favourite I can’t think of a word I really don’t like, but bad grammar and poor sentence structure makes me cry. No seriously, it physically hurts. I can’t explain it. |
| Seas Favorite Moon. Aquatic. Wispy. Willow. Glorious. Hooligan. Dodgy. And Im sure there are some I cannot think of just now. Least Favorite Bulbous. My husband used this word to try to be cheeky to me, and it did NOT go over like he expected. Special Note: If you are trying to give someone a compliment, do not use this word. |
| Awesome Amy Favourite Antidisestablishmentarianism. Yes, trust me to choose one of the most odd words out there. I don’t know why I like this word, I just do. It’s long and weird and I guess in a way, it’s a bit of a challenge to get right. It challenges me everytime I attempt the get the spelling correct and I like a challenge. Spontaneous. Another favourite word. It has a nice ring to it, I think. Least favorite Buoyant. ^^ One of my least favourite words. I hate it the way it’s spelt. |
| Triple Amy Favourite Darling. |
| Jenny Lynn Favourite Fantastical. It’s just such a fun word, I love things like that. I like to make up words too and this word sounds made up, but it’s not. Fantasticalness is a word too, lol. Palindrome, onomatopoeia. Words not everyone knows! My sister’s a palindrome, Hannah. Yay!!! Also race car, level, name no one man. Onomatopoeia is fun to say, plus it’s words are fun to say too. Like BAM!, hissss, buzz, drip. Exclusivity. Haha, great word. It just sounds so silly. Like it’s trying to be fanciful, but doesn’t quite make it. Least favorite Inconvenience. Don’t like it b/c I can’t spell it. I usually get ahead of myself and spell it inconvience, ick. I do that with lots of words like instead of ‘what the’ i’ll write ‘whathe’ and that’s not a word. |
| Sweet Talula Favourite Hyberbole, plethora, synecdoche, persnickety, swanky, phalange, matriculate, tiff, splendiferous, hoity-toity, kumquat, lilliputian, funambulist, diphthong, fernticle, dillydally, bamboozle, bernini, dandle, matriculate, confabulation and medulla oblongata |
| Zoekins Favourite Haberdasher. I think it is someone who deals in goods such as needles, patches buttons, thread and other small tailoring goods. But it is not so much the meaning of the word as it is the flow of the word. It is so perfectly balanced and almost delicios to say ^^ lol |
Effie |
| Kristie Favourite Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Least favorite Bling. Ugh ’shudders’, I dont know what it is about this word, but it irritates me every time I hear it. |
| Renee Least favorite Irregardless. The word that annoys me the most is ‘irregardless’! That isn’t a word! I hear it all the time and it isn’t a word!!! The correct word is REGARDLESS! It drives me crazy! |
| Shawna Favourite Wonderful. Least favorite Race (Ethnicity) Ugh |
| Megg Favourite I like chicken. Such a fun word to say. I also like oregano, quesadilla, twirl, tweak, shonky Least favorite Buoy. It just sounds silly to say. |
| Alyssa - Favourite I have a lot of words I think are pretty ‘nods’… eternal. silhouette. sunshine. gossamer. melodic. bubbly. It depends, I suppose. Least favorite Thousandth. Worst favourite word because I cannot say it. My tongue gets all tied up and everyone giggles at me |
| Platinum Bianca Least favorite Melancholy Thunk… I love to hate that word, but sometimes I can’t resist using it either. |
| Mei Favourite Definitely. Least favorite Darling. Really it makes me cringe when I hear it. Just does. |
