WORDS 

There are so many words in the world. Have you ever come across THAT ONE weird, questionable word that was just so different it made you stop in your tracks? I know I have. Maybe it was the way the word looked, menacing. Or maybe you like the way it clinks against the roof of your tongue when you say it. Maybe it's the way it's spelled. So what's your favorite word? Or maybe you just want to share a peculiar word you came upon one day....

 

I myself like Rendezvous, because of the French-ness and the way it's spelled, which means meet at an agreed time and place.

 

I also like Vacuum, because not a lot of people know that it's spelled with two 'u's. Perhaps it's because the 'u's are sucking you in...

Guys, I didn't make this post. I just noticed this now. Is someone else posting as me? Or is their name Asher as well? I don't want to cause any confusion, but...yeah. I didn't make this.

I like the word dazzling, because it sounds so exquisite and grand. I also like the word 'chillax' (my friend made up this word!) it reminds me of summer, and hangin' with my buds. ;)

Flabbergasted, my favorite word. Ever. It means, shocked, surprised, surprise (someone) greatly; astonish, etc.
Next is, persnickety, it means, well, persnickety. Placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy.
Subluxation, when a bone is pressing on a nerve.
Forbearance, Withholding response to provocation.
Crestfallen, sad and disappointed.
Tah-Dah!
