What is your favourite word?

I like the sound of culvert. I would quite like to be named Culvert.

My favourite word is cusp

I love ‘gruntled’ as used by P G Wodehouse. ‘While not exactly disgruntled, he was very far from being gruntled.’

Idiosyncrasy, mode of behaviour / thought, peculiar to an individual.
Takes me back to childhood, could never spell it, until my kindly headmaster taught how to break it down. Needed to learn it for a spelling test. Pleased to say I got it right.

Just heard another of my favourite words on TV; roustabout. Love it

MrsKen I think we're in agreement on pronunciation.

South Wales Aldom the valleys and now Carmarthen. The w in twp is prounced oo as in school, but slightly clipped .

I beg Apricity's pardon, I just noticed she is still posting!

Lovely name 🙂

Baggs

"apricity" – the warmth of the winter sun.

I think we used to have a poster called apricity, not sure if she is still on GN.

However, I never knew of that meaning, thank you Baggs

Flounce or flounced.

Lexisgranny

Fragrant and laundered (probably something could easily be read into my choice!). As to my favourite name, I have two Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henri - and I’m not even a football fan!

I’ve been listening to the absolutely brilliant ‘The Tent, The Bucket and Me’, by Emma Kennedy.
There is a passage in it describing her dad’s fascination with the name of the Aussie tennis player -
Yvonne Goolagong.

He repeats it over and over again in a very protracted Welsh accent on a long ferry trip, driving her mother mad.
