INTERROBANG - What is it?! and other awsome words
Sunday, November 5th, 2006 - 3:00pm
Ok, I think interrobang is one of the funniest words ever. It does what it says. ?! Interrobang, question and surprise all at once.
Anyone else got a fav. word? Something random, or something that you like saying all the time, ad naseum until ppl want to hurt you in significant ways?
P.S. This is my first thread, help a sister out.
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
Welcome to the site, Zeegirl! Please use capital letters in your posts, we're a little uptight about that sort of thing
You can read all about it and more in the Code of Conduct.

Sorry...can't seem to edit it
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
I thought it was spelled "interobang."
My favorite word is lugubrious.

Ahoy! Welcome to the site. It's always good to see new troops for our zombie resistance. You should be able to edit your posts via the mini "toolbar" at the bottom of all your individual posts.
On track with the topic, I've always been keen on harangue. I've never had the chance to use it in a sentence yet, but I like having a back-up.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
Nice. Harrangue. Man I would create situations in which to use that. Also, ignore the poor spelling.
EDIT: *shakes fist* caps, you will be the death of me
"He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe."
When I said use caps, I didn't just mean in your thread titles. Every single post, please.

I think "echolalia" is a neat word. I came across it while helping a friend come up with a name for his band. He didn't like it, but I just did a google and see there is a band using it. Though I suggested taking the "a" off and just use echolali. It means the often pathological repetition of what is said by other people as if echoing them.

Yeah... Y'see, the neat thing about e e cummings is he knew what the hell he was doing. Raping grammar and formatting doesn't make you profound.

For some reason, I really like 'salubrious': that one has stuck with me ever since I heard it in 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.
Other favorites: fandango, synchronicity, ebullient and nanofortnight.

zeegirl, welcome! You seem like a wonderful fit to our group. Don't take Certis the wrong way, he is the benevolent overlord of our little corner of the internets. He is the watchdog that prevents these forums from turning nasty, immature, and downright hateful. We all follow the rules because of the wonderful side effects. So the comments aren't personal criticism against you, just protection. If you look up by the top of the thread, you'll see the option to edit. Go for it, and keep posting!
We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.
And we talk bad things about Certis behind his back. It all evens itself out in the end.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...

My current favourite word is celebutarde. A combination of celebrity, debutante and retard, it's used to refer to folks that are famous purely because their famous, and not for any sort of redeeming attribute. See Hilton, Paris.

My favorite word to say is 'lozenge.' My favorite word to use is 'sorostitute.' As in, 'the campus seems awfully full of sorostitutes today.'

And, my favorite word from my Spanish 2 class:

I think we chased zee girl off. Get it? "zeegirl"? Nevermind.
I like "bubbly". I can't say it without some ridiculous english accent.

Haha, I so love the very very bad jokes, thank you souldaddy.
I love blasphemy, the pronouncing is just great.
And on a little side note, I'm really loving this spell checker in FireFox 2. Makes life on this board a bit easier.
I don't watch, I interact!
