Bisky's Twitterling's Scribbles! discussion

I love the word bumble.

As in bumblebee but also bumbling movements :]

Whats your favourite word, do you have one? Or afew? :]

You know, I really like the word arugula. Giggles.

I somehow had a weekness for "lass", mead, and my all times fav " oathbreaker", also "gargantuan"

@Valerie I always think that sounds like the sound effect I make when I drink wine.

@Kamil, lass makes me think of my mum being angry with me. Her scots comes out haha

@ Bisky, funny thing....you just described the situation of my WIP heroine

I hate politics, but gubernatorial is easily my favorite word.

Guber makes me think of little rodent like animals. Where have I heard it before?

not sure... goobers are peanuts, which comes from the latin guber (or something like that).

The world is full of mysteries.

I like Gemutlich and also mardy (a midlands/northern England dialect word meaning stroppy, grumpy, sulky for those who do might not know). :) But now I'm fascinated by gubernatorial!

wait? we can pick non-English words as well? or has Gemutlich somehow made the transition over from Germany and I completely missed it? If so... I may have to change my choice.

I almost chose lagom, which is a swedish word meaning 'perfect amount' don't really have the same in english. its really bloody useful, lol.

But I think the rule is, if you want to choose a non english word, you actually have to speak the language ;]

ah, but how well do I have to speak the language? ;-)

I bin nicht ein guten Deutche sprechener... yeah, ok, so, not German then

All I can say in german is: Ich bin dick.

I remembered it for obvious reasons.

My favorite words are confines, pinheads, loons, and red. xD

Sorry, mine are boring. lol

I also like pinecone :3

I feel there is a deeper meaning behind the word 'red' there :p

something about the word pinhead gets me thinking of Biff Tannen from Back to the Future. I'd totally take that one as a favorite. Anything you can use to call somebody a name that has a P in it gives that extra option to spit as you say it :-)

@Bisky - Pinecone has a nice feel too it :3 Red's my favorite color, and I happen to like the word, too. I like red things x3 Favorite anime hair color, too xD

@Adam - The word fits him perfectly. haha The more spit, the more powerful. I actually picked up that word from Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor--I watch that show a couple times a week. He also uses 'loon' a lot, so that's where I picked up those words. haha

Without a doubt, I love using 'indubitably.'

literally, I love the word "figuratively"

ha ha, Harry has a Guinea Pig called 'Bumble'!

I'm in a giggle fit from Twitter and I come here to hopefully calm down and I get greeted with:

Harry has a Guinea Pig called 'Bumble'



*dies*

ha ha, aim to please ;)

My current favourite word is convalescence.

I like that :D

Lol craptastic is actually a word? haha :P

I had to search up my last gamer tag there to prove to my boyfriend it was a real phrase

Snatch Bags - Running past a car at a drive thru resturant and stealing the food as they pass it through the window.

No one has said "visceral" yet?

I've also always enjoyed "atmosphere"

Mine is sadly likely too vulgar for group consumption. But related to "visceral," I do like "eviscerate." Also "defenestration," obviously.

Tergiversate, A flip-flopper.

I managed to work the term "caprine" into a narrative without sounding ostentatious. I'm pretty attached to it now.

just used groggily in my work in progress... then said it out loud four times. . . took it out.

I loled at groggily :p Thats used in harry potter somewhere (photographic text skill only works to 50% capacity on friday nights)

Vermillion means worm-like. Who wouldn't love such a word!

http://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/vermi...

In Latin. I think we get the word vermin from the same root

I like that my book is being talked about :p

It was inspired by a song. But the thought that Vermin comes from Vermillion is actually very fitting aswell.


:]

ARrrrrrrrrrgh lol

Im haunted by those feathery bastards.

Vermilion, Ohio. Really.
I went to uni with a guy from there.

I'm gonna have to travel there and tag 'bisky woz ere' on every building

I'm falling in love with "barmy."

Haha! That felt nostalgic :p

Lol!

Favorite word has always been dragonfly, the problem with it is that there is not really many occasions to use it.

Never heard of vermilion for other thing than the color...

Stuff ... it is such a versatile and usable word - it covers so much - well, err, stuff :) (And I can spell it)!

Dragonfly is a pretty word. I think you're going to like the name of the novel that will come out before Vermillion ;]

hhaha stuff :p

Ah can't wait then! What genre you write Bisky?

Stuff: I used to use that word a lot when I first learn to speak English. Every time I couldn't find the word for something I would call it stuff. ;)

Vermillion and A Dance With Fury are Urban Fantasy. Though Vermillion is set in London where as ADWF has its own world. After I publish ADWF I'm going to be writing a YA Sci Fi to also be self published :3

I do the same with the word 'thing' in the language I'm learning, lol!

Love urban fantasy. YA's good too but I sometimes feel like I spent a few days with teenagers chitchatting in my ear after I'm done. I guess the authors succeeded in making it sound real. ;)

I love defenestration. I doubt I'll ever be able to use it, though—neither in real life nor in a book. But one can always hope.

@G.G I've not read any YA for a while now, everything I was reading kept being full of cheesy teenage love triangles. I didn't love them when I was a teenager either :P

@Michael that sounds like a challenge! :p
