You know what's a great word?

[blogslut]

Bottle.

Bottle is a great word.

[NYC_SKP]

1. I was thinking "queue"...

Because it has all those extra letters.

Hell, could have just gone with "q".

[blogslut]

3. I like queue

It's a fun word, especially when British people say it instead of "line".

[applegrove]

8. I'm not even going to try to remember how to spell that.

[Locut0s]

2. Quone

[blogslut]

4. I had to look that up.

I really missed out on a lot of pop culture references because I could never get into Seinfeld. I thought: "These people are horrible!", not realizing that was the whole point.

And here I am, years later, an "It's Always Sunny" fan. Go figure.

[Locut0s]

7. Lol indeed that was the whole point...

You kept thinking, these guys can't get more selfish than this. Then nope the next episode proved they could Fantastic writing throughout, Seinfeld himself though was ironically the weak link in the cast.

26. Jerry was the comedian playing the straight-man for the rest of us :)

[Locut0s]

28. But he often had trouble keeping a straight face...

He was well known for having a smerk on his face during many scenes which called for something slightly more deadpan.

[arcane1]

29. I especially loved it when they would joke in the show that he can't act

That whole continuing plot line of them pitching/writing/filming a pilot for NBC was the greatest meta-moment in TV history

[a la izquierda]

21. I love Seinfeld nt

[applegrove]

5. Ardent is a great word.

[blogslut]

9. It really is.

It's practically an onomatopoeia. It almost sounds like its definition.

[pinboy3niner]

14. Onomatopoeia is a great word

And tintinnabulation.

Hear the sledges with the bells -
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

[blogslut]

15. tintinnabulation - that's a new one for me.

I like it!

As for onomatopoeia, there used to be this very cool kid's show:

39. Great...

poem...one of my favorites.

[Mr.Bill]

6. The Bottle Let Me Down

[blogslut]

33. Oh, I like that.

The superior lyrics, the increasing intensity of a swing tune, the twang, all tied up with a great lead singer.

Thanks for that.

[Mr.Bill]

36. Catching that one on TV by accident is how I discovered the Mavericks.

Been a fan ever since.

[Gravitycollapse]

10. Alluvial fan...

[blogslut]

12. Ooh.

That is nice.

[Locut0s]

16. Thumbs up. The word(s) have a nice smooth mouth feel to them :) nt

[fizzgig]

11. i promise i'm not a weirdo

but i thing exsanguination is an amazing word.

[blogslut]

13. huh

It is a rather beautiful word, isn't it?

EDIT ADD: It reminds me of the how elegant the word "abattoir" is except, "exsanguination" is much prettier.

[yewberry]

22. Similarly, defenestrate. nt

[Locut0s]

17. In a similar vein to Gravity's word I rather like Riparian. nt.

[blogslut]

18. Those two

..."riparian" and "alluvial fan" remind me of another of may favorite words: "antediluvian"

[Locut0s]

19. Nice...

[lastlib]

52. The first time I got to use 'antediluvian' in a high-school debate.....

...impressed the judge so much, we almost won the debate just on that. She had been teaching for twenty-plus years, and had never heard a high-schooler use it.

[Ron Obvious]

20. It IS a great word

Fred wanted to confront his bullies but he lost his bottle.

[blogslut]

24. I'm going to have to use that sometime

...lost his bottle. I dig it.

[pinboy3niner]

37. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Old joke.

[Aristus]

23. My favorite word is 'intrepid'.

Love it.

'Bottle' is good. Instead of glass flasks, though, I always think of houseflies...

[blogslut]

25. It's such a firm, resolute word, 'intrepid'.

Here in Texas, we honor words we like with an extra-syllable pronunciation: 'in-ter-re-pid'.

[femmocrat]

27. Kerfuffle.

Its fun to say. Sounds veddy British to me.

[bluesbassman]

30. Even when the bottle's dusty...

[blogslut]

35. Sweet

The Dead is always appropriate.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. splanchnic

[blogslut]

32. Oh my.

I had no idea. Awesome word.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. 'tis!

Perfect for when I'm doing my NYC Jewish Lady voice.

I just may have my name changed legally!!!!

[pinboy3niner]

42. That's offal!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. harrumph!

Viscera.

[pinboy3niner]

45. I had a gut feeling you'd say that

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. yeah...you probly had a feeling deep inside.

snarfle

[panader0]

34. I'm going with "oblong"

Say oblong several times in a row--
My new band name 'Oblong Tatonka'
kidding

[Sanity Claws]

38. Moxie

I love what it describes. It is so much more powerful than "spunk" and does not fall back on gender biases, like "ballsy."

[pipi_k]

40. My lowbrow side likes

the word "fart".

It's cute. It's fun.


My higher brow type likes "glissade". Sounds so elegant...

[lastlib]

41. "tesseract"

a three-dimensional representation of a four-dimensional space; "hypercube"....





my other choice would be "octothorpe"

[font size=20]#[/font size]

(aka "hashtag&quot

[Locut0s]

50. +10

[MizzM]

47. Read it in a book of fiction a long time ago

I love the word miasma (me az mah) Kinda rolls off the tongue. Sounds a lot better than its meaning (foul air). I have never heard anyone ever use the word in a sentence so I use it as often as possible, which isn't very often.

[Xyzse]

48. Rythm!

sky, spy, shy, fry, fly, why, dry, try, tryst, gym, hymn, lynx, lynch, myth, wyrm, myrrh, rhythm, pygmy, gypsy, flyby, crypt, nymph, and syzygy , spryly, sylphy and syzygy.

Either way, my favorites here would be Rhythm and Myth.

Although, I must say, I do like Nymphs and Sylphs

[Locut0s]

51. Mellifluous nt.

[grantcart]

53. Gruntled.

Opposite of disgruntled.


Still have no idea what it means but I use it frequently and when I explain that a gruntled employee is the opposite of a disgruntled employee I can see them appear to understand it and then wonder what it actually means.

[dipsydoodle]

54. In the UK bottle also means nerve

as in "he lost his bottle" or "he bottled out"

[B Calm]

55. What you got against Can?
