Apogee Posted August 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted August 17, 2020 Share 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 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share 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 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmySky Posted August 17, 2020 Share 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 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morsabalto Posted August 18, 2020 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine X Posted August 18, 2020 Share 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.
