Shallullabug.

When I was little I asked my father β€œwhere did I come from?”
My father replied
β€œAh well, you came from the Shallullabug Islands”.

Cute πŸ˜‚

I like twilight and melody. Dislike flacid.

Another word I love is Prestidigitateur. I learnt it in 1st year French, back in 66/67 and I can still amuse myself saying it out loud with, to my ears, an appropriate accent. Saddo that I am πŸ˜‚

Mine are actually French words! We did French poets at A level and one poem I remember had the words 'crepuscule' and 'terebinthe' describing an evening in the warm South of France. Can't remember whether the poet was Verlaine or Baudelaire, but, no matter, I have loved those words ever since!

"Just a song at crepuscule, when the lights are low" doesn't quite scan quite right, though πŸ˜‚

Twilight - that's a nice word.

Thanks, Foxy gloves for the link to the poem that taken me back 60 years,I loved it at school. I was supposed to be studying Geography but the teacher was good and taught us to try and remember the poem and we would know the volcanos in Mexico and South America.

Chang Kai Shek (Old Chinese politician) always strikes a chord with me. No idea why. I just like the sound of the words.

Chang Kai Shek is the name of about the only Chinese leader other than Mao s tung I can pronounce or remember. This is a coincidence DH and I were talking the other day about Taiwan and he asked me who made Formosa independent and without thinking I said, Chang Kai Shek. It rolls off your tongue.

Idiosyncrasies is my favourite word. Possibly because I have so many of them.
