I like palindromes

and scootillator, but it may be exactly wrong for this thread...

I like crepuscular, it sounds creepy and means "of the twilight" - so is a bit creepy...

and "squozen" which is also exactly wrong!

words anyone?

What a delicious thread. Why didn't I think of fortuitously, or manuscript?

My favourites, for decades, have been turquoise, Peebles, clafoutis and pamphlet

To type: minimse and people
