love this word! it’s almost onomatopoeic.
feivel – loved “pogonotrophy”. thanks
May 27, 2009 6:49 pm at 6:49 pm #923323AnonymousInactiveTo ames re your example of the use of “riposte” in a sentence: You used it as a verb, but you defined it as a noun. I do not believe it can be used as a verb, except when used in feivel’s definition.

Yup this is for all Mary Poppin Fans…
May 27, 2009 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm #923329DeliberatelyEsotericMember“pulchritude” is another favorite of mine. it means beauty, which strikes me as funny, as the word itself isn’t an elegant or pretty-sounding thing.
May 27, 2009 8:01 pm at 8:01 pm #923330noitallmrParticipantames- would make sense if your on a portable device???
May 27, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #923331feivelParticipantSupercalifragilisticexpialidochus
the correct spelling is: Supercalifragilisticexpialidochus
May 27, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #923332DeliberatelyEsotericMemberames – that is weird… even if you’re using a portable device, why would you have a problem with my posts only? maybe it’s the length of my screen name… anyway i tried to skip a line this time 🙂
thanks for starting this thread – i love words!

May 27, 2009 8:12 pm at 8:12 pm #923335noitallmrParticipantThanx feivel- was wondering who the first person to correct me would be!!!
ames- I’d reccomned Dell- it’s what I use with amazing battery life…
DeliberatelyEsoteric- yeah I think it’s the length of your username.
May 27, 2009 8:14 pm at 8:14 pm #923336squeakParticipantfeivel, I consider your post to be highly pernicious, when you consider the eye strain that it takes to discover that you actually made no correction.
May 27, 2009 8:17 pm at 8:17 pm #923337noitallmrParticipantsqueak- Huh??? I actually spelt it right…woweeee I’m more talented then I ever imagined!!!
And feivel- check carefully the next time you presume I make a mistake 😉
May 27, 2009 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #923338squeakParticipantI didn’t say you spelled it right, only that feivel merely copy/pasted your spelling and perniciously tried to pass it off as a correction.
May 27, 2009 8:23 pm at 8:23 pm #923339noitallmrParticipantHeehee…I always thought that feivel was mature!

May 27, 2009 11:52 pm at 11:52 pm #923345aussieboyParticipantGuacomole (or however you spell it. I always found that to be a funny word lol
May 28, 2009 12:18 am at 12:18 am #923346noitallmrParticipantames- yeah that’s an idea because although their battery life is great it does get worse and worse after much usage and seeing what an addicted member you are, it’s probably down to about 5 mins! 😉

Delib… I don’t think that skipping a line is helping because you leave those lines blank. Try putting a dot or something on the first two lines like this
May 28, 2009 6:26 am at 6:26 am #923348JaxMemberLAer: i’ve always found that word pretty funny too!

May 28, 2009 6:39 am at 6:39 am #923349JaxMemberhey i see now after reading back, that DeliberatelyEsoteric used the same word as me! oh well!
May 28, 2009 1:55 pm at 1:55 pm #923350squeakParticipantCan we take a vote on whether or not Medical terms or scientific names count as words? I vote no. Otherwise, I could coin a name for a clear, colorless liquid which I claim to have added drops of every drug on the planet and call it
