Hi everybuggy!
I wasn't quite sure where to put this, but I thought that since books had words, this might be a good place. So basically, you can post any words you find interesting, unusual, important, sound nice, or that you just like. If you found the word in a book, you can name that too. Also, if you invent a word, those are welcome too (with their definition).
Obviously, nothing offensive, mean, or controversial.
Here, I'll start:

one of my fave words is Onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia ~the formation of a word from a sound associated with what it is named
That definition is kinda unclear, it's just the one from the internet. Basically an onomatopoeia is a sound affect word like boom, bark, boo, achoo, and splash. :D

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia used to be my fave word! :). It's ironic, and that's why I like it so much.

LOVE THIS!!! This is my place. WORD NERDS!! Do you know how many times I've been told, "I don't speak smart"?
One sec, checking dictionary.
Just found this one-
Percolate noun, to ooze through, to filter through.
I also like "acid" because it took me forever to learn how to pronounce.

I like the word Yarak. It’s a falconry term meaning: fit, keen and ready to fly. It’s usually only applied to shortwings. ‘Sharp set’ is the correct term for longwings.

Most kids my age don't know my favorite word! I figured here people are more likely to know it.
Inkling - noun - a slight knowledge or suspicion; a hint ; (thesaurus): idea, vague idea, notion, glimmering; sense, impression, suggestion, indication, whisper,
suspicion, sneaking suspicion, fancy, hunch; knowledge, slight knowledge;
hint, clue, intimation, sign, pointer, insinuation, innuendo
Heh. Yeah.
But seriously, I love words. Also, there's this book where the main character LOVES homonyms! It's called Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin. :P
