Indubitably ...

So nice to quetch and reminisce in such an erudite manner about matrimonial strife and discourse.

I feel alleviated.

Certainly surpasses incarceration.

Now I must find a highbrow word for nag

paraprosdokian:

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re-frame or re-interpret the first part.

Words that conjure up an image or sound funny, especially when spoken...

poodle
penguin
duck
jiggle
hair-raising
gigantic
rooting (as in searching for a lost item in a deep closet)
excruciating
egghead
droopy
dozy
nit-pick
curlicue
quirk
browbeat

I guess I should have written them down when they came to me, because I can't think of them all now.

Well, rooting has several meanings here too, like rooting for the home team, rooting a plant... what's yours? We're British, but I don't recall my parents giving it any other meaning.

Someone I was close to always asked me what I was rooting for because it was not uncommon for me to be rummaging around my "stuff" in search of things. Whenever I think of the word now, I hear his emphasis on it, which makes it funny. You really had to be there.

I did nickname one of my dogs, 'cutie', because she was just soooo 'kewt".

I think she knew it, too, by the way she flaunted herself in front of the male dog.

"Words I like" are mostly because of way the word flows when you say it rather than some deep meaning - and some are cheerful

existential
quagmire
ponderous
lollipop
obfuscate
ginormous
rickety
doodlebug
horsefeathers

When I was a kid I loved the word antidisestablishmentarianism simply because it had more letters than the alphabet. I read too much as a kid! Still do.

Oooooooooooooooooh!

Good Ones! "Rickety" its kind of a tinny word isnt it? Whereas "Ponderous" is more of a "woody" word.... you see? "poooooooonderooous..." Woody?

Now I really like the word existential, because it has that powerful woodiness, with a bit of a tinny undertone.... Think of it: "Ex-is-ten--tial...". Yes Nice woody / Tinny blend.... More on the woody side of Course.... we must never be tooo tinny.

For those of you who dont know Im referring to post #26 on this thread. Its hilarious.

Fart is kinda nice.
Everyone does it even those Pomppous Fheads in DC, heck even the Queen Mum, JFK and Sir Winston C.
They like to pretend they don't. In hoidy toidy events they squeek them out,smile and then quickly leave while blaming another for the foible. Classic politician behavior.
In private they are none too proud to let 'er rip. They aren't something one likes to share, except in the JackAss movies or my house on Burrito Night.

Orgasm is nice too, as everybody wants one.Sharing certainly is highly preferred, but playing an occasional game of Solitaire is not uncommon.

Pah-Tootie is another fave just because it rolls off the tongue.
the F bomb is an old stand-bye but is just too worn and weathered.
I fondly remember "Champipple" from watching Fred Sanford.(Red Fox)

Yep, you're pretty much there.

Mr Mxyzptlk was a mischievous imp-like villain from the old Superman DC Comics. He could only be sent back to the 5th dimension by tricking him into saying or spelling his surname backwards.

I really am a fan of the word "Granted."

Can change the course of an entire conversation.

"Granted thats true, what about when you just want to do this...."

"Granted, he does have a tough job, I still think he could have called."

"Granted it is getting late, I still think we should hang out somemore."
