They aren't awesome words. They are violent and distressing words.

Sever is an alright word.

I move that we only allow words in that are awesome when not symbolically attached to their concepts.

[OddjobAbe]

Sever is an alright word.

I suppose it is quite woody.

EDIT: On second thoughts, it's a bit tinny, actually.

[abe619]

They aren't awesome words. They are violent and distressing words.

and most of the other words aren't awesome words either. They are sexual and turning on words.

At lunchtime, a whole group of people from all over the uni meet up in the staff room and compete to answer the quiz at the back of the newspaper. Most of them have PhDs. Last week, I managed to wow them all by actually knowing the word 'antimacassar'. It's possible the response may have actually been "How the fuck did you know that?!"

Other awesome words:

• Desideratum (woody)
• Eschaton (very tinny)
• Lucubrate (not sure; sounds more wet than anything)
• Ultracrepidarian (nice and woody)
• Zumbooruk (woody as)
