These are a few of our favorite words
One of my all time favorite words is “penultimate” which means the second to last. I love it because it is usually misunderstood. It sounds like it should mean the absolute ultimate or something, but no!
My friend schooly g loves the word “elbow” due to the way it sounds and simplicity.
The Ever-Lovin’ Hubby’s (ELH) fave word is “shiznog” (is it really a word?) because it is so fun to say and is an almost polite replacement for the swearword “shit.”
My friend Mrs. B says, “right now, I'm enjoying the word ‘pickle’ because it has hard sounds and soft meaning. I also enjoy “antepenultimate,” which is the one before the second to last. I also like “crepuscular,” because it sounds like it should have to do with pustules, but it doesn't. words rock.”
mryendor likes the word precept since it is an idea that is used as the basis for action when it may not necessarily be true.
