I have actually posted this a long time ago but thought today would be a chance to re-post and possibly add to the list.
That is where YOU come in….read the post and then add your words to the list.
Do you ever just hear words and think “cool word”.
Here are a few I love. (use in a sentence) What are some of your favorites?
micawber; noun, one who is poor but lives in optimistic expectation of a better fortune (My boy Ben is such a micawber)
chiliad; noun, group of 1,000 (I don’t travel with an entourage, I cruise with a chiliad man)
pea-souper; noun, a heavy thick fog (I was a total pea-souper on the way to the cape today, eh? )
foofaraw; noun, a disturbance (Stupid teenagers above me…always making a foofaraw)
jacktation; noun, boasting or bragging (Like, Dude was totally jacktating)(get your head out of the gutter! )
clapter; noun, the sound of clapping (What happens when you get a hundred old people at a Clapper convention…clapter…hahahah )
wamble; verb; to turn, twist or wiggle about (Wamble and shout, wamble and shout)
Your Turn.

banjaxed : broken, in a really serious way (“that lawnmower is totally banjaxed”)
jandals : NZ for sandals, or crocs, or flip flops … so many options (‘c’mon bro, get your jandals on we’re going tramping)
tramping : what you do while wearing jandals, or more specifically, low level mountain walking. Hey, it’s New Zealand, don’t blame me…

my favorite word right now is: Sababa. It means cool/awesome/niiiiiice in Arabic and Hebrew. Actually Hebrew stole the word from Arabic, but I just love it either way. I say it all the time.

Serendipity (noun) – an unexpected and fortunate happenstance, or the faculty for making such happen.
It was serendipity that led me to the long-hidden gold mine.
onomatopoeia – a word that has a sound similar to it’s meaning, like cuckoo or swoosh.
i love an onomatopoeia in the morning – BOINGGGG!
