Words

[talkingsoup]

I think the words "cuttlefish" and "surreptitious" should be in every single book written. And I think the word "plethora" should be taken out of the English language, tied up, dumped in wet concrete, and sent to Davy Jones.

How about you, my zillions of readers? Any words you just love to see in print? Any words you simply cringe to see or hear spoken?

Heck yeah! I'm totally adding that to my list of words I need to use more often... along with "indubitably". Sweet word, that. Fun as hell to say.

"Indubitably?" Haha, I haven't even heard that one before.

Ooh! You know another good one? "Obfuscate." I don't know when I'd ever use it, but it just sounds so awesome. So does "inveigle." *koff* X-phile talking *koff*

Heheh, that was one of the best lines ever: You just can't forget it!

[talkingsoup]

Lol, I know. So was just about every line in "Bad Blood." Best. Episode. Ever. (That's the one with vampires where Mulder and Scully tell different sides of the story...)

Hm, I don't think I ever saw that one, and it was actually part of a season I thought I'd seen all of (I looked it up...)! Grr.
