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

[Maximilianus]

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.

[Mathor]

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.

[Mr Endon]

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"

'entgegengegangen'

meaning, please?

True, "delightfully" funny!

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

[Mathor]

Pish Posh.

A few of these I had forgotten due to lack of use, and others I didn't know. So thank you
