this idea came from Pebs using the word 'Scallywag' in heyupp

What other words do folks find satisfying.. Either through their meaning or just the sound of them. Here are a few..

Nincompoop
Wobble
Balderdash

any others?

don't know about satisfying, but here's a new word and definition I heard the other day:

Shart - A fart but with more more meaning :wacko:

Dweeb

Codswallop

Skullduggery

Hugger-mugger (really, all those rhyming constructions like harum-scarum and pell-mell amuse me inordinately)

Pulchritudinous

Defenestrate

:ok:

Pulchritudinuous

brilliant

:bow:

Apparently

celador (pronounced "cellar" "door")

is supposed to be the most aesthetically pleasing word in the English Language.

In French I always found it pleasing to say : J'aime la jambon B)

Isn't that becuase people picked up on Drew Barrymore saying that in Donnie Darko and took it as fact?

I mean, in all honesty, who judges what is most aesthetically pleasing as a phrase? The Phrase God?

The most pleasing words for me are....

Wibble

and

Smeg

EDIT:- I am told J.R.R Tolkein said it was so now.... he is a good writer I guess....but celador doesn't do it for me....

Well I did some research into it after watching the film, spoke to some of my English teachers, looked stuff up on the net, and it is supposed to be a very aesthetically pleasing phrase, and anyone I've spoken to has yet to dislike it :shrug: Linguists have done research into this kind of thing, and "celador" is an aesthetically pleasing phrase to human ears....

Still you're right I did add in the "most aesthetcially pleasing phrase" bit for effect :P

basement window...

hmmm

Nope, you're right SW, cellar door is more pleasing

:D

Yes that's right, I read that as well...but forgot!!!

As you may know Im a massive Tolkien fan so shame on me. In fact it was Tolkien I was reading about. He was a philologist at Oxford and as you know made up languages for his books etc.

You're supposed to say it as one word, and because of the natural sounds, that roll off the the tongue and the fact the syllables fall into each other so perfectly, it's supposed to be nice....still aesthectics are very subjective by nature, so not everyone is going to like it.

:D

This is my personal favourite:

"fiddley dee"

I have used 'fish fiddle-de-dee' instead of *bleeping* hell on occasion

:blush:

I like

trundle
hurtle
skulk

trundle is a good one.

Im not too fond of skulk personally, too k'ish' for me :lol:

I think i shall refrain from posting words that sound good to my ears ;) However, ive always liked the sound of names Elaine, Barbara and Christina

my favourite word isnt really good for the board either....

very expressive though :)

you can mention 'little' though hun

:lmaao:

Frac / Frack / Frak - depends on how you want to spell it.

Shazzbot

A friend use to use "Peanut Butter and Jelly" (pronouce it like you were saying, slowing, "son of a b1itch" or "Jesus, Mary and Joseph") - she had a number of these she came up with when trying to break the swearing habit she got into in the military.
Butterscotched was another we came up with for the same thing. (oh, butterscothed instead of "oh, s***")

plump

lugubrious

prolix

enthusiastic

mastication

ludicrous

unwise ;)2

That's a good 'un. I like to use it with Ljubicic (I think I have, in fact, in a post on here)--not just for alliteration purposes but also because it suits him.

Git

as an endearing term of course

:wub:

Looking at everyone's favourites has just rammed home to me that I'm terribly foul-mouthed :D Not one of my words would be suitable to post in case it's like the Beeb Boards and I'd end up gettine banned roflmao (Didn't get banned from any Beeb Boards but noticed others receiving the treatment) :whistle:

:lmaao:

I've had to curtail a few obscenities too

FFS

roflmao

Bit of a bugger isn't it? Oops!! :devil:

Sugar

I'll see you next tuesday

:lmaao:

roflmao That's one of my most satisfying words, when said with venom at some who really deserves it!

In German classes I used to love this one

Strassenbahnehalterstelle - which I think spelt wron, Lex could help! :D
Basically a tram stop!

I also liked Schiessenhause, Zum Donnerwetter, and Blockfloete

sh*thouse, an excalmation which I think is the equivalent of bloody hell (stormy weather literally I think) and flute.

Mentioning German made me remember another one of mine:

Vater

I am your vater Luke roflmao

hmm, you smell like my Vater Darth

B)

Oh yeah, we all used to giggle at that cos of the pronounciation! roflmao

:lmaao: Exactly!

Glad I wasn't the only one. :D My dad was nto very amused when I said ti to him roflmao

You are my vater!

Did you say farter?

roflmao

roflmao

Come to think of it my mum wasnt; that pleased when I called her Mutter! roflmao

roflmao

It could be misheard as a few other things :unsure:

roflmao Yep!

I wondered about the man who was involved in X-Rays, Herr Kunz

:blink:

roflmao Yeah Kunz certainyl make me wonder too! :lmaao:

and his colleague, Herr Fuchs

:lmaao:
