Words

Hi there,

Now, if you know me (or if you have read any number of these blog entries) you know that I am a fan of talking. Not in the "she likes to hear the sound of her own voice" kind of way, but I really like words. Since I was a kid, I've always wondered what guy sat down and thought of each word originally. Who sat down to eat in the evening and said "Dinner"? Who put arm rests on a short bed and said "SOFA"? Things like that boggle my mind. There are some words that make me laugh, some that are heart-warming and others that I have absolutely no idea what they mean, but like using them as much as possible.

So in the spirit of list making and to honor my love for the lexicon... I have for you the following:

WORDS THAT MAKE ME SMILE: Tweed, Wasabi, Ambrosia, Bongo,
WORDS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO ME: Heaven, Autumn, Friendship, Weekend
WORDS I HATE: Panties, Moist, Yummy, Tissue
WORDS I CAN'T DEFINE: filibuster, Saffron, Riboflavin
WORDS YOU SHOULD BE IMPRESSED THAT I CAN DEFINE: Gerrymandering, lukocyte, serendipitous, monotonous
WORDS I CAN'T PRONOUNCE: Rural, Roar, 'Rufus Wainwright', 'Sixth Sense'
WORDS THAT SHOULD BE SPELLED DIFFERENTLY: Receipt, pasteurized, rhythm
BEST WORD OVERALL: Ambrosia
WORST WORD OVERALL: Moist

Goodnight friends,
Tempa
