Three Cheers For Words :)

[snogged]

A little conversation I had with Gabrielle tonight got me thinking about how awesome words are. So my flisters, I wanna know the coolest/most elegant/best/dirty-sounding etc. word (or words) that you know. And I'd like you to post a definition as well, even if I might know what it means already.

*hugs*

And just to get the ball rolling, one of my favorite words is "susurration" (n). A soft murmur, or whisper.

I love the word "twig." A simple word, but the sounds that make it up are awesome. If you say it over and over, you can get lost in the sounds. Or maybe that's just me.

Another fun word, but it's more my sister's word than mine, is "defenestrate." It means to throw out the window, as in, "You just defenestrated my boyfriend!" (An actual quote from my sister.)

Awesome choices!
