Rise ‘n shine^tm!

After last night’s more-than-slightly irrelevant ramble – I was tired, okay – I’ve decided to get back on track with a blog post on something wordier. Todays prompt – “What’s your favourite word?”

Sorry to be extremely cliched in my uncertainty, but that’s a hard choice. To be frank, I like a lot of words. To cut a ramble much shorter,I’ll bullet point them for you:

• Pleep – To cry plaintively or plainly whinge about something. Shetland slang.
• Crapulous – Sick from overindulgence. I already suggested it as my underrated word of the day.
• Pnuemonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis – The former longest word in the english dictionary, longer than supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by 11 letters. It’s also a nonsense word: it means a lung disease arrising from inhaling volcanic ash, though apparently no such “silicosis” can actually be contracted from the unpleasant dust. Still, it’s a obligatoy feat of spelling!
• Squamous – Scaly or resembling scales. I remember hearing this in a biology lesson and stopping everything to get the spelling right. A word for the future.
• Asinine – Superlatively unintelligent or impulsive. I feel asinine myself a lot of the time.
• Sopping (Adj) – Absolutely saturated with water/fluid. I have used this word more times than necessary to describe the weather. (Hey, I like the rain!)
• Aura – An air of something. I use this word far too much in the virgadian segment of my novel and ought to minimise it.

Well, that was a load of corprolite. *Insert word preference question here*

Have a good morning!
