Oh I meant, despite me thinking it was a typo, I googled it to make sure it wasn't some weird slang or alternative use of word that I haven't heard before. :p

meth

enchilado 05-13-2011 07:32 PM

That's not a word.

Yeah, but he's cool for saying it!

Methamphetamine

Dixanadu 05-13-2011 07:42 PM

Phenolphthalein and since we are doing concrete nouns, Politburo and Zeppelin.

MeechMunchie 05-30-2011 06:58 AM

Colossal, Vagabond & Ragamuffin.

STM 05-30-2011 07:01 AM

Erogenous, that's a wonderful woody sort of word! Better than tingle, ugh, how tinny!

Also, I made a new friend recently by the simple expedient of using the word 'interregnum' in an appropriate context.

No wonder, it’s synchronicity.

Also, ravenous, castellan, hearken.

'Ultra' is a word I've always loved.

Mudokon_Master 04-06-2012 03:05 AM

Incredible is a word I've always loved emphasizing.

I was thinking of naming a pet bird that. If it dies, you'll get it.

Shibboleth

Also one of my favourite words. I love using it, even if no-one understands what the hell I'm talking about.


In fact, you might even say that I use the word 'Shibboleth' as a shibboleth.

A'a.

My dad is a University lecturer and he has a student this year with the surname A. She's an immigrant, as that surname would usually be illegal here.

MeechMunchie 04-07-2012 06:28 AM

All I know about "a'a" is that it's a volcanological term.

Volcanological.

Phylum 04-07-2012 06:37 AM

Just about every word related to volcanoes is awesome.

Especially volcanoes.

MeechMunchie 04-07-2012 10:59 AM

Pyroclastic.
