I'm a writer. I'm a bibliophile. I love words in general, but I also love really cool words like...
Lethologica ~ the inability to remember a word or put your finger on the right word
Bungalow ~ a small cozy cottage
Chatoyant ~ changing in luster or color
Denouement ~ the final resolution of the intricacies of a plot
Effervescent ~ bubbling enthusiasm
Fun story - this has been one of my favorite words since I read it in Dear Pen Pal by Heather Vogel Frederick.
Ethereal ~ light, airy, or tenuous
Gossamer ~ a thin, insubstantial or delicate material
Labrinthine ~ twisting and turning
Limerance ~ the state of being infatuated with another person
Mellifluous ~ a sound that is sweet and smooth
Nemesis ~ an unconquerable enemy
Petrichor ~ the smell of earth after rain
Vellichor ~ the strange wistfulness of old/used bookshops
So what are some of your favorite words?
I like splendiferous. Also, sussurus, though I can't spell it without looking it up. And quirked. (I don't know. I'm strange.)
