Re: Favourite Words
Nurv will like that. Recycling posts!

Re: Favourite Words
Hmm, guess I won't be recycling this time around...but there will be other opportunities, I'm sure. ^^
Yes, the word "Kiwi" is one of my favorites...I perk up whenever I hear it spoken, though where I live, the word "Kiwi" is used in leiu of the word "Shoe polish"...because...you know, kiwi brand shoe polish. -_-
Here's a list of words I've come up with:
Justice, Love, Respect, Understanding, Trust, Truth.
Though I guess I really like the connotations behind those words moreso than the words themselves...But I do find it entertaining to run around screaming "Injustice!" whenever the mood strikes me.
I also like the words "WFT" and "w00t".

Re: Favourite Words
I like swords.
Best. Line. Ever.
Maybe not, but I like it a lot. And congrats on plowing your way through 400+ pages of 8-bit in what...two days? Three? That's a lot of reading. ^^;;

Re: Favourite Words
>_> Erm... I read the trilogy in a week, once. It was winter break...
Havoc is a good word too. "Cry havoc!" makes a great warcry.
quote:
shibby, zanahoria, gam, antidisestablishmentarianism, rill, willow, extemporaneously, dirk, scop, fletch, floccinaucinihilipilification, thou, ban-draoia, draconian, whisper, honor...
Oookay...
'shibby' is an exclamation to inidicate general good/cool/wonderfulness
'zanahoria' is Spanish for 'carrot' and sounds neat
'gam' is the correct term for a group of whales--I was looking through the dictionary (yes, I'm weird), noticed it, memorized, and got to tell it to my mom the next week when she needed it on a crossword
'anti...etc.' sounds cool and was the first realllllly long word I memorized the spelling of
'rill' and 'willow' both sound trilly and pretty and have to do with water ^_^
'extemporaneously' is a cool word to know how to use correctly and sounds shibby as well
'dirk' and 'fletch' are cool-sounding and fun and violent...heh. A short-sword and the action of putting the feather-flights on an arrow, in case anyone didn't know.
'scop' is the Old English (true Old English, before Shakespeare AND Chaucer) word for a poet
'floccinaucinihilipilification' is a very long-winded word meaning 'long-windedness' or 'wordiness'. Teh fun, no?
'thou' is shibby and pretty when used correctly
'ban-draoia' is Irish Gaelic for 'female magic-worker' and pron. 'ban DROY-ah' pretty and cool-sounding and neat meaning. I like the word for magic even better, but I can't remember how it's spelt. It's pron. 'DROY-kicht'
'draconian'...I got funny looks when I defined it as 'having to do with dragons' in my Humanities class...<sigh>
'whisper' is just fun.
'honor'. My dearest literary love is Hercule-Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac. I love honor, the very idea of it, and firmly believe the world would be a much better place if more people had/respected it.

Re: Favourite Words
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come. From God, who is our home:
William Wordsworth
I memorized about 500 words of this poem back in '95 for no apparent reason other than I found it beautiful to search with faith and hope for God in nature.
