Plunge

Such a satisfying word. I heard it on the weather forecast earlier and can't stop saying it.. in a plunging manner.

Pluuuuuuuunge Xmas Grin

Anybody have other words that are satisfying to say? I need another word before dh kills me Xmas Shock

Gusset - said in a particularly strong northern accent!

Audacity.

He had the audacity to suggest we go for croissants or whatever.

LOVE it.

oldlaundbooth · 27/12/2016 17:28

I can't hear gusset without hearing Alan Bennett for some reason.

TheMortificadosDragon · 27/12/2016 17:32

This sounds remarkably like a round from I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue in which case we probably should have 'plinth' next. Grin

Someone has already (of course) mentioned 'serendipity' - how about 'mellifluous' - the most honeyed of words.

Silviculture and silvicultural

Precious- in its "stop being so precious" sense. I know some MNetters hate it but there really isn't another word which covers it.

Glaikit

Oh yes.

VeryBitchyRestingFace · 27/12/2016 17:42

Defenestrate.

Mortificado
Mellifluous has already been mentioned upthread !
Anyone care to tell me what it means? I'd love to drop it into convo some time

NashvilleQueen · 27/12/2016 17:47

Janey50 · 27/12/2016 17:48

I love the word plunge. Said 'per-lunge!'.

ChocoChou · 27/12/2016 17:56

Indubitably

zukiecat · 27/12/2016 17:59

Glaikit is brilliant!

Is there another word that describes glaikitness better than glaikit!

I like "sleekit" as well

Defenestrate is good, better than disenfranchise

Ilovetorrentialrain · 27/12/2016 18:10

I love defenestrate too! How odd three of us have said that.

Also 'oval'.

ZoniSouslaLune · 27/12/2016 18:12

Oh, and myriad.

And impunity. I like dropping that into conversation. "I thought I could take a coffee break with impunity."

Yellow wigwag about moist cunt lol

Empress13 · 27/12/2016 18:14

That should have read what about not wigwag !

ZoniSouslaLune · 27/12/2016 18:14

ChocoChou, mellifluous has to do with a sweet or honeyed sound. "Come have a chocolate biscuit," she urged mellifluously.
