I really like the name Jasper.
If I were married and had a kid I don’t think I’d give them this name, though, because they wouldn’t be the image I get in my mind when I think of it. Other than that, I like the words:
serendipity
silence
cerulean
…and others I don’t quite recall at the moment.
I love words! All words! except:
acquaint
contagious
shoal
coral
pedastal
regatta
pridian
satire
catenate
gluttony
vertiginous
Those 11 I despise. I’m sure I will have more to add to the list after May 30/31.
My favorite word is echolalia, and has been since March 10. before that my favorite was pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I have lots of other favorites, too many to list.
Whoa just looking at all of your fav words made me realize how I ♥ the word foliage!!!!!!!
My absolute fave word is:
Antidisestablishmentarianism!!! It makes me laugh just to think about it.
14 – ahhh…you listen to too much hip-flop?
11 – why? \_/ l\l008!
I enjoy the words anthropomorphic and filibuster. Whenever one says the word enjoy, it makes one sound very intelligent. So does calling oneself one. oneself is fun to say too. I didlike the word album. and two. they look as if tey are spelled worng, but they are right. it is soooooo wierd! I like the names Emma, Anastasia, and Esmerelda, but Ingrid is growing on me. I hate the name Agatha, and Priscilla. I like Finnegan for a boys name. it sounds….Sophisticated yet sporty. I just like it.
weird is a weird word. it breaks the “i before e, except after c” rule. weird.
1337 15 4 C00\_ \/\/0R[)!
19-*is kinda insulted*
20- I love Esmerelda! I even named a country in one of my books, Esmer. Anastasia is a lovely name.
I dislike Prunella. I once had a character named Priscilla Prunella Parks, though, because it was fun to say.
Labyrinthine
Lackadaisical
Woe
21-there are so many spelling rules out there, and nearly all of them have exceptions. I rather like the word flokati, because it is the only word i have ever seen that comes from greek but uses an F.
Here’s a weirdish word I discovered yesterday: eleemosynary. the second syllable is pronounced as a schwa, which is kind of weird for a double e. fun word to say. Gobemouche is really fun too.
I love the word JABBERWOCKY! Twas brillig were the slithy toves, and the mome raths outgrabe. I LOVE THAT LINE!
I also love saying Petaluma, and metropolitan.
rutabaga, magpie, soup salad
26- Um, correction.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths, outgrabe.
I know that poem by heart.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths, outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
Long time the manxome foe he sought,
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths, outgrabe.
28- Me also. Though I’m not so good with the spelling, I still can recite it exactly.
I don’t think “outgrabe” is an adjective, as your comma before it suggests. As I recall, Humpty-Dumpty explained that it was the past tense of the verb outgribe.
Drat. PC beat me to the whole thing.
Were you named after that Alice?
33- Uh, maybe. Partly, I think. But then again, maybe not.
1 [_1K3 5lO34K1/\/G 1/\/ 1337!
I wish you wouldn’t.
28-What you typed is all I have memorized of the peom. But I still think it’s the best part!!
36-It’s okay as long as no one obsesses over it.
Aspettami.
NOTE TO MUSERS: We’ve posted ‘Jabberwocky’ about 34,382,394,947 times already. Find something else.
Okay. And now for something completely different. Gah! Now I’m quoting Monty Python! Anyway, back to the different something. How about this:
There was a little guinea pig,
Who, being little, was not big.
He always . . .
Fine, fine, I’ll stop the poetry now.
Coriander
Conquistador
Salamander
I like the name Demeshia. It’s pretty.
So is Aviva, it means springtime in Hebrew. It’s also my middle name, so I better like it.

Otzi’s favorite name ever: Aiobheann
Otzi’s favorite word ever: Spooney
41-I feel special…
I use the words “whatchamacallitagainza” and “thingy” when I talk, sometimes. People have such a hard time understanding me. I wonder why?
Favorite word: quagmire
Favorite name: Chrosanthopos
For the first time in years, I’m reading books where I actually have to consult a dictionary. Some of my favorite new words have to be the nouns. Like somnambulist, or valetudinarian. Not that there aren’t loads of wonderful adjectives. Like bibulous, egregious, stentorian, salubrious, pusillanimous, or apotropaic. A few days ago, at my friend Ellen’s 15th, we amused ourselves by hurling words at an attending synesthete. Oh, so fun. The evening concluded with presents, and personally I think my gift of Tolstoy the Turtle took the cake.
“Hey, is ♥ a word?” That cracks me up.
43-I prefer quagmiry to quagmire.
oh! oh! i like whatsisface and whatserface! i use them a lot.
Why is the name Gideon so almighty popular of a sudden? Before I chose it for one of my characters, I’d only seen it used once, and now I’ve seen it twice in the space of a month.
Drat!
melifluous!
and Shakira’s not Hip hop.
Superfluous
Hilt
Scathing
Incessant
Ni
Tarnation
Croopus
Accursed
Trill
Tapestry
Minty
Piazza
Why do the words supernatural and extraordinary mean the opposite of natural and ordinary, rather than more natural or ordinary?
Because super- literally means “above,” and extra- literally means “outside” (or even more literally, “out from”+”across”). The boring meaning “very” came later.
I see.
This is a weird sort of joke, GAPAs. It used to say “Words & names you ♥ or just want to talk about. Hey, is ♥ a word?” now it says “Words & names you ♥ or just want to talk about. Hey, is ♥ a word?”
It doesn’t look that way to me. Maybe it’s your browser. Have you tried clearing its cache, or even just rebooting your computer?
56 – It only looks this way occasionally. Most of the time it’s normal.
I assumed it was a joke because it was also on May Melee and Espanol, but now I think it’s just a glitch with the code for the special symbols.
pink
certianly
hideous
marble
deplorable
depict
writer
coral
Ahhh, I love words! As for names I love the name Aurora.
58- Yes! I like coral too.
I don’t understand the word Incredible! In means not and credible means getting credited for something. So technically it means not credible!
(60) “Incredible” does mean “not credible,” but one meaning of “credible” is “believable.”
60 (bR)- Actually, no. If you’re taking a Romance language, you’ve probably learned the verb for “to believe.” In Spanish it’s creer (pronounced like cray-air, more or less.) Most of these languages take their word for “believable” from that verb, just like English. Spanish has creible (pronounced like cray-ee-blay, more or less.) English has “believable,” but we also have “credible,” which I assume is from the same Latin root that produced “creible.” Regardless, it means believable, not able to get credit for (that’s “creditable.”)
Therefore, “incredible” means “unbelievable,” which, in fact, it does.
SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!
fun word. WHEE!
I use “ka-winky-dink” instead of coincidence
everyone needs to agree that flibertigibbet is the best word EVER!
65-Nope, there are way better words than that, most of which i’ve just learned in the past few days, like bhutatathata or sardoodledom or bewussteinslage….
anyway, I definitely know what the absolute evilest word ever is. Gardez.
I like words with thirteen letters. Such as:]
Jurisprudence.
Deliciousness.
Hypochondriac.
Fossilization.
Psychosomatic.
Fossiliferous.
Metalliferous.
Carboniferous.
And many, many, more.
66- Bhutatathata sounds like evil laughter.
when i looked up my first name, i found it means either “wood” or “an irish war goddess” isnt that cool
waterfall
etheral
magical
and anything in the elven language
Last night it occurred to me that “cherish” might be related to “cherie”, and when I looked it up, I was right! Yay!
