To ask - your favourite word?

[doid]

Not sure if it's weird but I just have a little collection of words I love (mainly for their meaning and not the sound).

I loved limerence when I first heard it.


Does anyone have any other words that they really like the meaning of? I'm actually looking for one-word tattoo inspiration (don't judge for the tattoo!), so I'm reading, googling, being more conscious of words in films etc but I thought I'd ask you users as well!

[DontCallMeCharlotte]

Well I hope you're not going to use limerence (or as we used to call it "massive crush ) but I doubt you'll use my favourite either which is Szechuan (for the sound not the meaning!).

[Judashascomeintosomemoney]

Oddly Limerence is a word that makes me cringe and go Urggh! Each to his own. I love Onomatopoeia though, the word and the meaning.

[PentreBachCymraeg]

Concubine and plop

[Bobbiepin]

Plop is a good word. I like phenomenon.

[CrimpBrunette]

Ameliorate. I don't even know why, it just sounds pretty

[Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies]

Machiavellian. But I’m not sure I’d want it on me permanently.

[doid]

@DontCallMeCharlotte no, definitely too many negative reasons not to use limerence!

[Amanduh]

Discombobulated.

[jellybeans44]

Bubbles! Or sparkles :)

[DareDevil223]

Happenstance. Both the sound and the meaning.

[TheFaerieQueene]

Gobshite.

[ApolloandDaphne]

Peppermint is my favourite word. No idea why.

[ChampionThreadKiller]

Ragamuffin and crop.

[Mari50]

Two together- adverse camber. Love love love- so much this might be outing actually haha

[PetuliaBlavatsky]

Recidivist and discombobulated. Neither particularly good for tattoos but lively words to say!

[Hazlenutpie]

Palaver

[LilQuim]

My favourite word is haberdashery. No idea why.

[OhTheRoses]

Blatherskite. And "fuck" above the bed has so much more resonance than "love" etc.

[RedHatsDoNotSuitMe]

Mine is "bollocks"

But I wouldn't recommend it for a tattoo!

[MrsJackRackham]

I live saying Apothecary and bombardier.
And Ballachulish (pronounced balahoolish), which is just as you leave Glencoe heading north. I always stop there so I can say ' I stopped off at Ballachulish.

[OhTheRoses]

One doesn't hear much about Atrocious Cunts now.

Penis Beaker
Any Fucker
Fabby Chic

Or totally over the top - Justine

[ILoveBray]

Slapdash

[EnglishRose13]

Chicane.

I've absolutely no idea why.

[AngelontopoftheTree]

My favourite word is Sphincter, not for the meaning just the sound. Don't think it's tattoo worthy though 😄
