words.

Favourite phrases, sayings, compounds, expressions, random grouping of words etc, etc

Lets hear them!

conscience laden
humble magnificent
just like clockwork
cellar door

words, words, words, and we do nothing but words in the name of poetry.

Stupid is as stupid does.
He who calls the tune pays the fiddler.
Home came the saddle, but home came not he.

tail-wagging scumbag.
protruding teeth.
putative heir.

using enthusiasm as a verb. Like this:

Mathor is enthused!

It's a very ancient usage of the word, and is no longer commonly accepted by most English dictionaries.

I must use 'humble magnificent' and 'enthused' more!

- incommensurable
- tiptop
- German word 'entgegengegangen'
- lately I've been keen on words with 'x', such as the adjectives 'lax' and 'taxing'.
- the phrase 'to be sure' is an all-time favourite.
- favourite word has to be mushroom (you'll find it's a funny word in every language: hongo, paddenstoel, Pilze, cogumelos, fungo, champignon)

When talking to others I like being needlessly exhilarated or awkwardly formal
1) answering 'terrific!' when asked how I am (regardless of how I really am) in such a jovial manner that people are unsure whether I mean it or I'm being sarcastic.
2) being overly polite, e.g. consistently addressing a 20-year-old as 'sir', and saying things like 'I wish you a delightful Thursday' when leaving.

I very much like how it sounds, for which reason this time I will not do what dictionaries and/or scholars recommend, and just to prove my word is worthy:
"I feel an enthusingly enthusiastic enthusiasm in a very enthusing sense" :D

I like to do that too. I like to call the sun the "orb of Apollo," especially when I'm hanging out with my friends, who I call "delightfully crude" in my best Mary Poppins impression.

My favorite words/combinations:
1. Hodge-podge
2. Pandering sycophant
3. Mollycoddling (the "ing" is important)
4. We aren't allowed to swear here, but if we were, I'd say F***. Some people don't like swear words, but I do very much.
5. Discombobulated

Pish Posh.

A few of these I had forgotten due to lack of use, and others I didn't know. So thank you :D
"Isil" is glimmering, telling it's about time to wane :as-sleep:

Love shack.
Tubular bells.
Hollywood bloodbath.
To file a grievance.
Tremendous amounts of pain pouring from their cries, rinsed by their tears.

I do like discombobulate!

How about hoity-toity
and one that my sister coined " ______ irks my liver.

As a poet I like to wear a garland of words.

Hewers of wood, drawers of water.
Yabadabadoo.
Huckleberry.
Mish Mash.
