Wonderful words

Not to be too outing, but I chose my teacher training college on the basis that I liked the sound of its name.

I too love words, old and new. I love the word “lush”, it brings to mind all manner of luscious things.

I like other words, because I just like the way they trip off the tongue:-

Lick
Piggy

And lots of words ending with “ck” many of which I cannot put on here!

Flibbertigibbet!
And floozie.
Riff raff, which I read somewhere meant ‘sweepings of rags’ in Anglo-Saxon.
Mellifluous, which I liked even more having learned that ‘meli’ is Greek for honey, so it means ‘honey-flowing’.

‘Flounce’ is one I like.

Sounds just what it means.

Tintinnabulation. Excellent word but hard to get into everyday speech.

How could I resist buying a Skoda Yeti?

Serendipity. Just take a chance and see what happens.

Caress.

Oh I can feel it now😳

We end our yoga class with a practise I had never heard of before - havening.

Now I just have to hear the word to feel soothed.

Lovely rich words :

I also don't know havening .
Sooth is another good one.
Caress makes me think of warm perfumed skin .
Lick as in lickimg a luscious lolly.
When someone drops a piano on your foot a word ending with ck is definitely the word of choice.

Floozie makes me laugh.
A d thinking of floozies -
I once introduced by a French man as his gonzesse.
It produced smiles and laughter .
I felt a bit embarrassed .
It means bird or chick .
A French friend drew me aside and winked as she said,so you're the bit on the side. "
But I like the word .
It makes me think of Can Can dancers in the Belle Epoch .

Fantabidosy 😂

Cuddle.
Cosset.
Puddle.
Loitering and languorous.
I also love the Scottish word gloaming, which refers to the golden sun that occurs at the end of a summer day I believe.

Dimpsey. In Devon it means just getting dark, twilight.

Cwtch - In Wales it means cuddle or hug . Catching up on the sofa with someone you love is very soothing

Cwtching not catching blasted autochange

Babs you've got me silently singing
Roaming in the gloaming on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roaming in the gloaming with a lassie by my side
When the sun has gone to rest
That's the time that I love best
Oh it's lovely roaming in the gloaming.

And flip flops are Jandals in NZ
I like the word we use, when things aren’t straight like a picture on the wall in this part of the country we say it’s ‘on the hur’ I like that one

Snooze, sleepy, relax, gentle.
Waves, breeze.

I too love words and there are some old English words that I think ought to make a comeback. Amongst my favourites are,
Afterblismed meaning pregnant.
Ibobbed meaning insulted, and my favourite, Doomsman a judge or doomsmen, jury.

'Happenstance' is another of my favourites.

Scunnered - fed up in Scotland

Drench
Quench

Splendid, marvellous, fantastic. All say exactly what they mean imo.
Discombobulated, flummoxed too.
My favourite word for just rolling over the tongue is linoleum. Nothing to do with the floor covering, just the lovely roll of the word.

Am loving Tom on IACGMOOH I’m learning some beautiful and new words from him, he is my latest crush ❤️
