To think we should all use the word "oleaginous" a bit more.

[Salmotrutta]

A very underused adjective in my opinion.

Shiteful is also quite handy.

Shiteful is also quite handy.

It was always used in the same sentence as "Leon Brittain". But, yes, equally applies to Portillo as well.

While we are on the subject I quite like ordure.

RowanMN has just confirmed that there will be a "cunning linguists" subject.
What magnificent news

I like Imbroglio and Peccadillo and Recidivistic

Crapulent is another great word - DH was crapulent last night

And crepuscular - I like different words for different reasons: gunge, say 'gunge' slowly and with feeling several times

there's so much perspicacity on this forum

Oh that's great news Pacific!

I love "obfuscatory". I live the way it is what it describes!

Oh, and facetious!

Today I heard Will Self say "malfeasance" on the radio, which I found very pleasing. Then on PM Ann Leslie used the word "toothsome", which I also liked. I have resolved to use both more often.

Nor do we say rebarbative enough.

A friend pointed out three words she particularly likes today. I feel I should pass them on:

circadian
pelagic
happenstance

I confess I had to go and look up pelagic. It didn't mean what I thought it did.

I wonder how many of these we can get into one sentence. < throws down gauntlet>

What?

The whole threads-worth??

I love oubliette. It's hard to use in everyday life though. We called the glory hole in our old house it.

Ok paragraph then.Go on Salmo you know you want to.

Callipygian (though not in the same sentence as pelagic).

YANBU!

pneumonoultramicroscopisilicovolcanoconiosis.

But I prefer palimpsest, perfidious and parsimony.

I like to fulminate at very small provocation. I become quite obstreperous.
