[captainbovine]

what's your favourite word?

I love frottage....and just heard a new one on me....frankled!

[rainydaywoman11]

Nyaff - just one of the words that shows the glorious descriptive alphabet of Glaswegian, saying what you mean without having to use a lot of words.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Collywobbles

[captainbovine]

I love some of these words you've posted.

Thoroughly agree with you all on the manners thing though, and it's not just young ones who don't use manners. The amount of peeps that just stand there like they're in a trance when they want to get past my very large trolley as I'm doing my job!! why can't they just say "excuse me, can I get past please".......

I'm asking for the moon aren't I?

[ilove2patch]

I agree CB. The older people can be just as rude & impolite as the young. I don't think it's an age thing at all.

[twishy123]

It's definitely not an age thing....I used to pull my MIL up for being rude... she could be cringingly horrible and she used to say that she could say what she liked because she was old...

Errr no....

and she also used to poke people with her walking stick if they didn't move out of her way,never said excuse me at all...

[wizilizi]

There are lots of great words

spigot & flange are two of my faves

flummoxed is another, & periwinkle

When I'm tired, my mind sometimes repeats 'Emerson Fittipaldi' like a sort of earworm.  I don't follow F1 either!!

[fishpieface]

Oh yes, here's one I like - Skank, I'm not even sure it is a word,

but it's my word for describing a nasty mess, like grime or dirt,

spilt stuff that hasn't been cleared up or a coach floor after a

cross-country team have been in there!

Errrm Fishie...

Skank

Derogatory term for a (usually younger) female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, but not necessarily. Can apply to any race, but most commonly used to describe white trash.

Suppose you could scrape it up off a bus floor.......

[ed_blackadder_1]

Especially after a Saturday night.

[rose2008-2008]

I like PEDANTIC but im not sure if thats how you spell it offhand?.

Flotsam and Jetsam.

Juxtapose.

[ginap.123]

Now there's a saying I hate up there in Twishys quote. 'White trash', how derogatory & surely a rascist saying. You'd never get away with calling any other colour 'xxxxx trash', the race relations mob would be up in arms about it.

[rose2008-2008]

I have been racking my brains for this word i like but i forgot it!!!!!!

SERENDIPITY 

[fishpieface]

Good gracious Twishy, I never knew that about skank.  I don't think I like

it now.

My son's favourite word of the moment is defaecate, he says it's such

a classy way to descrtbe pooing!

Oh collywobbles, I like that word too.

When I was at school we used to say Nyadadadingdongdanglemrangsag.  I

can't remember why!

[chickengrandma-2008]

I quite like floccinaucinihilipilification. I use it all the time. 

[rose2008-2008]

THATS SPOOKY I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT fLOCCINOCCI WORD AND ITS ABOVE HA HA HA HA LOL

[chickengrandma-2008]

I was thinking of serendipity, went to post it and it was on the post above me, it's getting spookier!! 

[merc1_clocks]

I wasn't thinking at all   LOL

[captainbovine]

the way my head feels at the moment, my favourite word is Paracetamol

[rose2008-2008]
