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

I like schwa, makes me think of 'schwing ' a la Wayne's world. We're currently watching the film Ratatouille - a word I enjoy because it brings out the accent of even the poshest of Geordies (ditto for Kawasaki)

Burgle

Sounds like something lovely, completely wrong for meaning.

FatalKittehCharms · 28/12/2016 20:01

'Cellar door' is apparently the most beautiful combination of words in the English language.

I like

Butter
Mango
Consolidate

BaileysOClock · 28/12/2016 20:07

Flamboyant

I like Buttock, Tintinabulation & Crepuscular.

Especially Buttock (not buttocks - not as pleasing) Xmas Grin

Thingmcthingyface · 28/12/2016 20:13

And volumptious instead of voluptuous

Thingmcthingyface · 28/12/2016 20:14

Also bugger is sadly underrated. Such a gentle swear word. Makes me think of terry pratchett.
Buttock is great...

tanfield90 · 28/12/2016 20:17

Gusset is a fine word. As is moist.

Perspicacious

Obfuscate

Dirigible

Slightly off thread, but nincompoop is a favourite mild insult of mine.

LumelaMme · 28/12/2016 20:21

Palaver
Decant
Frap

And my all-time favourite:
Tetchy

FurryLittleTwerp · 28/12/2016 20:38

Oh yes, tanfield - Dirigible is excellent Smile

tanfield90 · 28/12/2016 20:41

Glad you agree furry.

Festooned is also good. Automatic is great, as in the aircrew phrase ' cabin crew, doors to automatic'. So masterful.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Fuck-ing love it!

Fuck.....fuck......FFFUUUUUCKKKKKK

It's a place name so perhaps I am cheating but

Cullompton.

And my DSF had a cod-German word for camera: Klickflaschapparat.

Treysanatomy · 28/12/2016 21:12

Yes to bugger. Also buggering.

Upholstery
Literature
Whimsical
Shitcunt

tanfield90 · 28/12/2016 21:16

I used to know a pilot from Cullompton. As a place name though, Barton In The Beans (Leicestershire) takes some beating.

threesenoughthanks · 28/12/2016 21:20

Oooh another vote for haberdashery. So lovely to say.

We used to make NWA themed jokes about Straight Outta Cullompton, and Straight Outta Compton Pauncefoot......made the West Country seem a bit more dangerous and exciting.

OliviaBensonOnAGoodDay · 28/12/2016 21:30

Glum is great, agree with PP.
