words you like but don't get to use much

Danalys · 12-07-2007, 09:05 AM

innocuous just came to mind. altho it's probably better that i don't think to use it that often since i had to check the spelling.
iridescent is also a nice word.

Exponential, it has a nice ring to it.

Haha! I just used innocuous, yesterday.

*beams* There's lots of words I like and don't use all that often, but I am a word person so I do manage to jam them into conversation fairly regularly.

Perpendicular (It sort of sounds like what it means and I like the p sounds)

Nefarious
Gobsmacked
colloquialism
curmudgeon <--- great word. Another that sounds like what it means.
juxtaposition (hardly ever use that one)

I could play this game all day.

Superman is not a brooding angst ridden conflicted hero. He is a beacon of hope and his mission is to fight for Truth, Justice and the American way. Superman doesn’t need to wear an armor suit. He’s THE Man of Steel. There’s no need to “modernize” the suit for it to be more “dark” and “edgy”. If today’s generation can’t accept the character’s roots and essence, then they’re not true fans."
