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.

Yeah, but he's cool for saying it!

STM · #**550** 05-30-2011, 06:01 AM

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

(thread resurrection per request from MeechMunchie)

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

Mac Sirloin · #**552** 04-05-2012, 05:03 PM

No wonder, it’s synchronicity.

Also, ravenous, castellan, hearken.

Abomination.

Crashpunk · #**557** 04-06-2012, 01:54 AM

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

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 · #**568** 04-07-2012, 05:28 AM

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

Volcanological.

Phylum · #**569** 04-07-2012, 05:37 AM

Just about every word related to volcanoes is awesome.

Especially volcanoes.

MeechMunchie · #**570** 04-07-2012, 09:59 AM
