Word up

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: words — Christa Allan @ 1:25 am

Because it’s the last day before s-c-h-o-o-l starts after the holidays, today is gocredited_342737489_c7620c0057ing to be “blogging lite.”  Today’s ten are words I like the sounds of, totally apart from their meaning.

In no particular order, here are words that I consider fun to move your mouth to [sorry, you'll have to look up the meanings yourself!]:

  1. obsequious
  2. conundrum
  3. onomatopoeia
  4. hippopotamus
  5. plethora
  6. soliloquy
  7. plop
  8. gregarious
  9. flummoxed
  10. Yahweh

What are your favorites?

    What a fun blog! Will add to my roll!
    Hmmmm, how can I pick a favorite?

    I guess pleth-ora, for its cool first syllable accent that separates the babes from the chicks in the word roll call!!!

    Will be thinkin’ of you tomorroww–when I pick up my 5:30 a.m. writing schedule. See, you’re not the only ones facing reality in a big way…

    I know, I know! My reality checks seem to be often overdrawn.

    Every time I see hippopotamus now I think of the Christmas song with the child singing that they “want a hippopotamus for Christmas . . .” It is one of those songs that is very difficult to get out of your head.

    aluminum…love how it rolls along
    linoleum…love the ls in the word
