I like defenestration.
The act of throwing someone out of a window.

How excellent is it that there is a whole special word just for that!

That's immense. I shall remember it for future use.

Dunky. My all time favourite word. [For the sheltered it means condom]

I like the word Globule...It makes me feel special when I say it...

Try it... Glob-uuuulllllleeeeee

It does?

Oh is it Welsh.

It may only have been used in Wales but it is not a Welsh word! I don't know it's origins?????

Nesh [which means effeminate] is another odd one.

Castrainstation. (The best place to go by virgin)
Cockolate (A tastier shaft)
Humungatarian (F**koff HUGE!!!)

I hate the sounds of more words than I love especially words with plosives and 's' sounds. But Titian Lap is a lovely combination.

I like "globular" its the type of protein haemoglobin is and we used to go round Bio. saying "globbbbbbulaaaaar!"

We also point to our nose middles and chests and the same time and say "septum!"

I blame the teachers. Oh, lagoon-one of my favs especially if you give some 'oo'. Lagoooooon.
