simply words

[cacian]

this a thread about words/expressions you wish you could adopt but you just cant because they do not seem to agree with you.
words with a personal message but just not for you. words some would fall for over and over again and others simply fall out with it because for some reason the way they sound or the way they come across just does not agree with you.

Ok this one to start with

DITTY

oh why oh why do not I like this word? maybe because it rhymes with sissy I do not know. I am not sure about it do and do not like the sound of it sorry :frown5:


your turn.

[Mohammad Ahmad]

Oh! So and so , but I dislike so, I don't know or even to do.. it is just an unlikely savage clue...
Is it for me or for you?

[cacian]

another two or three:
sorry guys I have just have to get them out.

sorority it sounds like it is sorry for itself.
brotherhood sounds heavy like a group of thuds wearing a hood. it sounds awful.
nunnery. it sounds runny. eek!!!!:shocked:

But what would we do without onomatopoeia? Poetry particularly.

[Frostball]

I always thought the word pulchritudinous was far too ugly to mean great physical beauty. But I can't say that I dislike it or that I don't use it. I kind of like it all the more because of the contrast between the sound of the word and it's meaning.

another word
GURU

I once described a friend as pulchritudinous, which she promptly took as an insult... like you, I rather enjoy the disparity between the meaning and the sound of the word.

[mona amon]

Pulchritude - hee hee. When I first encountered it I couldn't believe it meant beauty!

[PeterL]

I think that pulchritudinous women need to take me as their guru. I will train them to accept pulchritudinousness. Low fees, convenient hours

Sisterhood is better: A bunch of women who look similar wearing hooded capes.


brotherhood sounds heavy like a group of thuds wearing a hood. it sounds awful.

A better alternative is fraternity


nunnery. it sounds runny. eek!!!!:shocked:

Get thee to a nunnery, and run

Do you prefer convent? ;)

As to "ditty", it rhymes with "****ty".

[Dono]

These may not technically qualify yet as words but I have heard them uttered on news television, radio, and by seeming professionals. Both inspire me to murder most foul.
Chillax and Ginormous
The second sounds like some awful medical ST condition, and the first is a weapon I would use on the next person who says them to me. Same with ANY word that drops the last syllable and replaces with "s" such as "whatevs" or "see you lates" as if the speaker is in such a terrible hurry to finish that dropping that last syllable will make all the difference...
