Oral Fixation

anyone who knows me knows that i love words. there are certain words and phrases that will get stuck in my brain or on my tongue for hours or sometimes days at a time. like an idiot savant i'll repeat them over and over again, relishing how they sound and feel on my tongue. it drives Stephen crazy.

say them out loud with me: ubiquitous, colloidal, vociferous, espionage, truncate, linoleum, obfuscate, gazebo, entropy, guffaw, and (my all time favorite word in the english language) rural.

aren't those fantastic?


ok...maybe it's just me. or not...

I do the same thing. Shampoo & tattoo are actually two of my favorites. Thanks for viewing my blog...nice to 'meet' you!

I'm all about the 'hot mess' and 'shortie.'

Linoleum is a fantastic word. My favourite is Dirty, prefix anything with it and it immediately becomes histerical in my book!

Er sorry that should have said Hilarious. BUt maybe histerical works too!

I love obfuscate but I never get to use it very often and when I do I'm afraid it makes me sound really pompous.
