What are the Words you like?

[GoneToTheDock]

so there are plenty of threads on words you don't like - possibly some threads on word you like...

I was listening to the radio and I heard "acquiescence" (yes I had to use spellcheck) I really like that!

What words do you like?

Outwith ... envy the Scots for that one and wish I could use it and be understood.

Hold up... is this a Scottish word?!

Murmuration
Cinnamon

Gubbins
Paraphernalia
Disingenuous
Eudaimonia

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

It was my Dad's favourite long word.

As long words go, I also love humuhumunukunukuapuaha.

Shenanigans
Voluminous
Taboo
Ethereal

Oops spelled humuhumu wrong. Ends with a'a instead of aha.

Hawaiian words can be such a challenge. Love the name Liliuokalani too. The last sitting monarch of Hawaii. A very brave woman. She was imprisoned in the Iolani Palace, which is still there and used as the headquarters of Hawaii 5-0 in the latest series. If you tour the palace you will see a quilt she made while imprisoned.

Ubiquitous
Amalgamation

Visceral

Persnickety!

Here's another one.

Saltchuck.

Means the sea/ocean.

Canadian west coast.

My friends from the NE have a sort of casserole/corned beef hash dish called panackelty. It's a much better word than what we call it where I live (tatie pot) as it really sums up how you make it: a bit of all your leftover meat and veg thrown in a pan!

@LoseLooseLucy @Legomadx2 serendipity is my favourite word too!
It sounds beautiful and has a beautiful meaning too!

Chalcedony
Obsidian
Damask

Ooh obsidian is a nice one!

Deliquesce and discombobulated

Susurrus, shimmer

Oompa Loompa
