Plethora
stymie
Vitamins sounds really cute when said correctly.
Tales of Symphonia made me love the word Indignation.
I heard the word "cognizant" today. :love:
I forgot one of my favourites: Infidel. Such a grea word to shout out in the middle of the street, just it's likely to get me shot by the police these days.
Bollocks
Wanker
Gobsmacked
Pituitary
Dysthymia
Mandolin
Angina
And probably several dozen others.
Exsanguination, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and cuddly. I try to use them on a daily basis.
I also like words that mean the exact opposite in other languages. Like "Gift." In English, a gift is usually a good thing... but it also happens to be German word for poison =D
Also, horrorshow. Anybody who has seen or read A Clockwork Orange should know what I'm talking about. Horrorshow comes from the Russian word khorosho, which means good. Horror show, on the other hand, is a combination of English words which means, obviously, a show of horror. Horrorshow = good, horror show = bad.
People do tend to gloss over the awesomeness of curse words. Take smurf for instance (certainly censored I imagine), quite probably the most flexible word in the english language. I love it.Quote:

Ample.
