Words I Like
Fall – as in the season, what some people refer to as autumn
Autumnal – the adjective of what the rest of us refer to as fall
Vitriol – because it sounds as strong as what it means
Sentiments – doesn't it have such a romantic flair
Arse – I love pronouncing it, writing it, grabbing it…
Gorgeous – need I explain?
Words I Dislike
Toe/toes – bleeeeeah, and not just because I dislike feet..
Baby – call me ‘baby’ and I’ll rip your balls off!
Ma’am – I''m not 100+ years old.
Connoisseur - an English word with Latin origins that sounds French but appears bastardised by having an oi instead of ai.
Incredulous – sounds a bit overly dramatic.
Awesome – a highly overused word on its own, even I'm guilty of that at times.
Words That Make Me Giggle
Bollocks – when said as an interjection, perfect with a British accent.
Ass – as pronounced by North Americans as Opposed to the word ‘arse’
Bosom – which goes hand in hand with heaving. The image that conjures in my mind....
Brouhaha – try saying it without laughing
