Your Favourite Word???

**JoeSemi** · 06/11/2004, 9:09 PM

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)!!

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??)

I love gymkhana or pleb. So simple a word, but so wonderful to hear.
Honorable mention to 'l@nger' as well.

Know what you mean me old mucker

....throw whatever the word is up and we'll see can we attach a meaning to it!

The Fresh(ness) I referred to is, on a general level, quite obvious.....as in the case of- bread, talent, air, poo(as Max Power referred to!), and numerous others. We won't divulge any other cruel examples as of now!!

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?

"(Die) Schlange", which means "snake" bares more than a passing resemblance to it and they mean the same thing.

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.

**tetsujin1979** · 08/11/2004, 9:43 AM

either "b0llocks" or "score!"

I really do like "rodger" as well, but it doesn't have much use in conversation

**green goblin** · 08/11/2004, 9:59 AM

Pants. Fabulous word, so many uses.

**Peadar** · 08/11/2004, 10:07 AM
