Words are great things and different words can be used in different contexts and throw deeper meaning to what appears on the surface. Thats the formalities done so....what are people's favourite words??
I'll set the ball rolling with....... Fresh(ness)!! :eek:
Fav word: "L@nger" Was down in Cork :eek: for a weekend when they played Nantes and thought it was funny the way everyone goes round calling eacother L@ngers!
Fav footie chant: "Alan Reynolds, Youre a W@NKER, Youre a W@NKER ;)
If you are saying that when you use a word and it takes on a different meaning then i know what you mean but it depends on the context .... i could throw a few up here but you wouldn't get it (do you know what i mean??)Quote:

Good thread JoeSemi. I like words like crack, ring, etc. My favourite saying is "pain in the prostate it is".
HAVE I DISCOVERED THE ORIGIN OF LANG*R?Quote:

cúnt. To the point, and nasty, so excellent in my book.
Sayings are to be kept to a minimum PM. :) Especially when describing pain! That was an old favourite of mine too but its appeal diminished as I began to run into more problems in this area......mainly due to excess Guinness and whiskey on nights out in Tramco and Paddy Blues.Quote:

Seeing as you are implying I'm a muppet and you don't know me in the least my friend......may I suggest that only muppets(like yourself :cool: !) name call or maybe you've got a mentality of a 10 yr old.Quote:

fine nay worries man..

Time to up the ante a bit.
onomatopoeia When a word describes a sound, and sounds like the sound. e.g. Quack
tmesis When a word is put in the middle of another word. e.g. abso-bloomin'-lutley
Granted, they don't pop up in everyday conversations.
My fav phrase is: "You gotta let it grow man"
My fav words are: Putty and Tramco :D
My two fave words are:
1. Man
2. Wans
I dont think so. Seán Beacher's book has some explaination in it I think (Adam?) about it coming from India?Quote:

Citóg being one of them.
As far as I know there's no word in the English language for a left-handed person.
So, that would be "intuitive" then? I instantly understood it. It was a given.Quote:

My favourite word is "loquacious".
It means full of sh*te. Uncanny, No?
Schlock is a cool word. As in schlock horror films.
My favourite word,

What else would you describe a bunch of acne ridden, sexually frustrated, self dillusional bunch of twenty somethings from ****. :rolleyes:
Obsessed. :rolleyes:Quote:
