Due to popular demand, I've decided to post My Incomplete List of Words I Love. And yes, I expanded the definition of the phrase "due to popular demand" to mean one person who clearly didn't think this request all the way through.
In no particular order:
hoopla
Rasputin
egads
whatsoever - been a favorite since 5th grade. Not that it's any of your business whatsoever
ruckus - kinda looks like what it is, doesn't it?
ponderosa - the word, not the restaurant chain
bizarre
equidistant - I can work this gem into almost any conversation. Example:
Husband: Where is the last brownie?
Me: Equidistant between the brownie pan and my mouth.
Equidistant rocks!
joo joo - as in "ever since I was attacked by an ornamental cherry tree, that video rental store emits bad joo joo."
mediocre
quirky
salsa - to be said all whispery and breathy like "salsaaahhh"
wonky - this so accurately describes so much in my life. But you probably knew that already.
hummus
sycophant
rankle
aurora borealis - go head and say it aloud. It's a smile.
antithesis
caterwaul - as in "It sounds like two caterwauling coyotes whenever I sing Janet (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty) songs ." True story, by the way.
I know there are other great words that I've forgotten to list. That's why it's My Incomplete List of Words I Love.
Feel free to submit some of your own.

ruckus. ALWAYS LOVED ruckus. And Uranus. As is the planet. Wait. Is it still a planet or was it downgraded? Either way? I like Pluto too. The word. Not the planet.
ReplyDelete"Pluto," he says under his breath.
"Pluto," he says under his breath - now THAT'S funny!
