Okay, so I love words. While I don't think sentences need to use flowery vocabulary, I find it fun to use a wide and unique vocabulary. With that in mind, I decided I would create a thread where people could post their favorite words and the definitions.
I particularly like the word
flummoxed. I blame My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic for this. For those of you who do not follow the show, let me explain.
This word was used twice by them. The first time, a vet examining Spike (the dragon) used it. The second time, the people who write show synopses used it. I had never used or heard the word before, and the show introduced me to it.
flum·mox (flŭ'məks)
tr.v. flum·moxed, flum·mox·ing, flum·mox·es Informal
To confuse; perplex.
Also, because the dictionary I grabbed this from uses images for the short u and schwa, I went and found them in Open Office's special character set. XD
So yeah. I really want to see what some of your favorite words are! C'mon. Post something awesome to make me smile!
