Zesty! I love the sound of it..... Everything should be ZESTY!

Gusto's a good one too, dontcha think? "He lived his life with gusto in a most zesty fashion!" I also like the word 'particularly' because I like the way it feels when I say it. And 'indubitably'. What a good one! And 'inimitable'. And collosal. Should I go on?

I've heard of Zest James, Zesty meaning full of zest ? My share of the affinity with words has been there a lot, some of course in English and some in our local language. We tend to mix up the languages sometimes when speaking to close friends and family. Can't remember some of the phrases for now, probably the drowsiness. I think my head's messed up a bit.

I guessing that you often have Zesty Moxy, dear James. I like moxy... I use it a lot. I love things with moxy! I'm repeating Irish's response here, but plethora has always been one of these words for me. I love the way it sounds. I love that it seems so positive and promising and abundant. I love to try to use it whenever I can. But lately, I have been playing around with the word 'juxtaposition' in my head and in things around me. I don't like the sound of it so much, except that it is kind of fun to say. I'm more into the concept of it....... I bet if I could sit down to my potters wheel right now, I would produce something with some serious juxtaposition going on.

Trinitron has been one of my favorite words since I was 20 something. I wanted a Sony Trinitron just because I loved the word so much. It dances off my tongue. Paschimottanasana (POSH-ee-moh-tan-AHS-anna) and Utthita Trikonasana (oo-TEE-tah trik-cone-AHS-anna)are two of my next longest standing favorites. I am currently carrying on a raging love affair with 'Ultradian Rest Phase' and 'altered states'. And one of my favorite regular words that makes me smile every time I say it is 'perspicacity', hehehehe... I LOVE that word! I learned it from a story/song called 'Five Denials on Merlin's Grave'... the line went "...displaying a crude cunning that might pass as perspicacity". Isn't that a great line?!?! And a wonderful word! Well, I have to go sew my trampoline now... talk to you later!

Ojarcumspliff! Apparently it means everything is OK. I don't promise that the word is spelled correctly though. My Dad says it and it hails from the English Midlands.

Sassy. Only you have to draw it out a bit........kind of like Sassssssssyyyyyyyyy, or something. And, I know you said not to answer this, but I just gotta......You are messed in the head, but that is ok, that is why I like ya!

how does the word finest sound to you.i am known to exagerate things,i usually answer i am finest,now my hubby is complaining that i am teaaching such stupid words to the kids(as if it matters to me)

Well usually I am very high brow and intellectual as you know james but in the last couple of days my nieces friend has led me to the merits of the word minny! lol I love it - it is so much nicer than so many other words that people use to describe female genitalia! lol Another favourite word of mine is numpty - which basically means dimwit or idiot! lolxxxx ps not to worry my niece isn't a youngster , she is 30 and a Psychologist! xxx

No James, you are not messed in the head (HA! I answered that!), you just have a lot of zesty moxy! ROFL I have an instant affinity for lots of words, and come across new ones all the time. Although to me Moxy is the name of a restaurant here that serves zesty food, but I digress...... My current word is phiffle, pronounced, fiffle! I love that. It tickles me like a Mark Twain quote does for some reason...... My most favorite, when I'm not tickled, pickled or feeling particularly pleased with someone is 'pshaw', which is a verbal but oh so literary gesture of contempt by someone with humor. People hate that one! LOL The words I enjoy the most though are the ones I made up for my kids to express all kinds of things. Like: woweezoweezaparoonee. The kids used to collapse in fits of giggles every time they heard that one. These days they only use it when they're stoned though! ROFL Which isn't often, honest!!!!

Murgatroyd! There was a girl at school who kept calling me Gertrude. She did it to annoy me, I'm pretty sure. I told my mom about it and she told me that I should call her Murgatroyd and it would shut her up. Sure enough it did (along with a very strange look). Good memory...

I always find myself using the word "dandy"... and now that I think about it, some people might think it's short for dandruff. But oh well. "ENHANCE" always make me smile. That's from Super Troopers and until now, I can still laugh about that line. "Goddess on my knees" sounds good, doesn't it?

For some reason I seem to have considerable affinity with the word "curmudgeon". I wonder why that might be, could it be that I am .... mumble mumble. Lash

Zesty sounds fun and and sort of has a fun connotation. Yeah, I can see why you would like the word zesty. I have favorite words too but I can't think of them right now

Well, that's a little, lesbianic. ^_^

Zesty... Hmmm ... Sounds good to me. Like eating some pickles or relaxing and being able to have some time to yourself. A wonderful word for sure. I am not sure what would be my word lately, but I know a lot of times for some reason back when everyone used to always say "COOL" that became a word I used to use all of the time as well. Come to think of it in a way Zesty sounds exotic.

I'm glad glad I'm not the only "Word Nerd" on Mylot. I'm so glad I'm not the only person who has thoughts like this. My favorite word in this vain is "lurk". The word sounds just like the action.

James honey, I'm going to tell you what I tell my hubby, sometimes you're just entirely too easily amused. My fun word when I was a kid was antidisestablishmentarianism. But it's a very difficult word to use in normal conversation. So I had to settle for supercalafragelisticexpialadocious. Heck as long as you're in a good mood it can describe anything!

"Maliyamamayal", it's an Italian wokd. In fact I don't know how to spell it. I spell it just by sound. In fact "Maliyamamayal" is my italian friend's pet phrase. Whenever he is happy or sometimes upset "Maliyamamayal" can always be heard from him. "Maliyamamayal" is similay to the English "Oh my god!" So guys say oh my god loudly.... MA LI YA MA MA YA LE:)
