Oh, I love Attapulgus and Choctahatchee. And there's Willacouchie and Okabojee. My native Florida has some great names like Apalachicola although down there we just called it Apalach. Here in Iowa we have Madrid and Nevada (pronounced Mad drid and nuh vay duh).Charlee Compohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313728801844090299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-85123607339474571232009-09-04T19:48:32.464-04:002009-09-04T19:48:32.464-04:00I adore the word zeitgeist, and I have to admit th...I adore the word zeitgeist, and I have to admit that the only reason I know what vicissitude is because it's discipline in the role-playing game Vampire the Masquerade. LOL <br /><br />My favorite not-too-frequently-used words are probably gregarious and quixotic. They're just so fabulous.<br /><br />There are also words I love to simply say over and over like onomonopia and Apalachicola (which probably doesn't count because it's a town name...but anyway.) heheMsSnarkyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433129988001574898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-62865277405011058032009-09-04T18:18:42.308-04:002009-09-04T18:18:42.308-04:00Oooh I love words.

In conversation. Palaver (as in chat up or "what a palaver!"), milieu, insouciant and sussuration. I know, I must be a sad person.<br />I'm told that British English has a wider vocabulary than American English, perhaps that's it (grasping at straws, here!)lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-67925097793850423632009-09-04T09:49:13.964-04:002009-09-04T09:49:13.964-04:00Had to look the rest of them up, but I've alwa...Had to look the rest of them up, but I've always loved lagniappe.
