Apogee Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I was thinking the other day about some of my favorite words and how it is fun to sneak them into a conversation. Three of my favorites are: Hootenanny Cattywampus Hullabaloo What are some your favorite words? I checked in game on TB and all three of those names are taken (as expected). 2
Greycat Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I find myself using Bailiwick a fair bit. At work, in game, etc. And while I don't use it as often, Tintinnabulation is fun. 1 Kheldian Lore and Backstory Guide 2.0: HC edition Out to EAT : A look at Epic ATs - what is, could have been, and never was Want 20 merits?

Apogee Posted August 17, 2020 Author Posted August 17, 2020 Ohyeah I forgot about Bailiwick, I use that a lot as well. I will admit I had to look up tintinnabulation 🙂
EmmySky Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I am more of a phrase or tone girl. The word ISSUE is always said with the tone and inflection of Kevin Cline as Tulio in The Road to El Dorado. No, no, he has a point is a well used phrase with me and my boys and always said as Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove. I do use snazzy and indubitably in chat often enough that people can tell its me even if I am hiding under a new alt 😁

My co-worker and I quote this movie far too often at work, glad to know I'm not the only one. Favorite words? I mean, honestly, I swear like a sailor, and my favorite words or phrases are probably not appropriate to string together in a forum post. 😛 Not an uncommon word, but I do like the word "colloquially." I just think it's fun to say out loud. Colloquially! 1 Global Handle: @Gibs A guy with unpopular opinions.

Morsabalto Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 I have to share a certain Tolkeininan flair of the sound of a phrase, as said by a Brit, (or at least someone with an affected Mid-Atlantic accent): Cellar Door. Hell it also sounds great in a broad JFK impression: Sellah Doah!

I use that a lot. I also use Mercy Buckets a lot as well. (Merci Beaucoup) I've heard odd pronunciations for Cam-oh-flajee. I would think beaucoup would most likely be mispronounced as Bow Coop, in stead of boo coo...Just going by spelling anyway.
Marine X Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 I've just heard people since I was young always saying stuff like " they just won boo coo bucks on the lottery " or " He must have boo coo bucks to afford that ", for a long time I didn't realize what they were mispronouncing.
