Fun words vs painful words
Hi
Sometimes words are fun.
Like Walla Walla Washington. (Some town with a very funny name)
Humuhumu nukunuku apua'a (the state fish of Hawaii)
bibliobibuli (one who reads too much)
oenomatopoeia - the word for illustrations in comics like "Pow!, Bang! Schwing!"
I have to smile every time I use one of those words.
Then there are words that make me grimace.
Testicular Cancer. Ugh.
Actually the scientific/medical name for any body part located below the neck but above the knees. Except Navel. I can use that one.
Your fun words versus uncomfortable words? It could be a phrase, like the troubling male rectal gonorrhea. Just vomited a bit. .
Some people call me Maurice SPLAT Pro lifetime, ADK 6 core 3.6Ghz with 32 GB RAM, SSD 1TB system drive, 3 3TB regular drives for samples, recordings and misc. Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!

Darnit Coboy you're actually asking us to think here today......I'm not feeling very right brained right now.
OK OK .....I don't know why this is but I like aeroflot, I later learned that this is the Russian airline. I like the word although it has nothing to do with the airline. I like word combinations like chocolate ecstasy. Almost anything with ecstasy behind it is nice. I like the word tittilation and the word fuzzy in certain contexts.Sumptuous is a nice word if I spelled it correctly. Should I go on?
Words like dilapidated and superfluous are not my favorites. Anything with the word smelly in it isn't nice, it just isn't. I hate it when "they" whoever "they" are change words that used to mean something else. I remember reading about things that were queer in 1st grade. Now that word usually means something else. Gay doesn't usually mean happy or cheery anymore either. Horrific and sadistic don't really get me feeling very warm and fuzzy either. I have a lot of words I like and a lot of words I don't like .
Words like Phat and dawg seem to have come from small groups pf people . These people liked them enough to keep using them and now they are used everywhere. Nothing I intend to say will ever have these words in it,unless the word is Fat which is politically incorrect or dog which is self explanitory.

Fun words:
- smorgasbord
- tintinnabulation
- myriad (much misused)
Painful words:
- tumour
- hernia (topical for me, that one)
And my current pet hate - the ever-increasing use of (for example) 'could of' in place of 'could've' which we all know is a colloquial contraction of 'could have'. It's appearing more and more in writing now, even in print.
OK, I'm a pedant.

Well, I really couldn't think of a word I didn't like. So, I stayed with the known.
