“Yes daddy”
Not necessarily words, but a simple phrase: “I like you.”
I think people should say that to each other more.
“I fink you freaky, and I like you a lot…”
I like u
Thy will be done!
Thank you. It’s important to tell the people you like that you like them.
Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it’s just a beautiful word.
Heretic. Something about that word feels very relevant in modern society…
Arbiter ?
The -tics are all very powerful
erotics is my favorite power to summon
I’m the sort of weirdo who uses all kinds of stilted vocabulary in not-terribly-formal situation. Just a few words that I use regularly that I remember getting shit for using:
- Ostensibly
- Indeed
- Escarpment
- Thrice
I do use “chagrin” not infrequently. I can’t think of a time when I’ve used the word “reify”, but it feels like the sort of word I’d use.
I use ostensibly a lot lately. Seems like an appropriate word for our times.
I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?
Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word “cliff”. Heh.
The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the “like a sir” rage faces. Lol.
That was probably… 3 years ago? I’m sure I’ve used it at least a few times since then, but I can’t remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.
Pfftt… “Aforementioned.” Well la-di-da.
Overmorrow. No more of this “the day after tomorrow” nonsense.
And by extension, words like overWednesday, for the second Wednesday from now. Or overweek and overmonth.
Immanentize the eschaton. :)
A derogatory term for people who want to make things good. Yep, sounds like politics.
I dont understand a word you just said, boy
Serendipitous Oligarchical Slaying
It has a nice ring to it.
I don’t hear flibbertigibbet or flabbergasted enough in my life.
Shakira Flabbergasted
No
The most important of all time. Seriously
Charlatan
Penultimate is a useful word I never use in speaking.
Nonplussed and forbearance. Got the latter into a work email earlier, easily the highlight of my day
Widdershins
Aue aye, Cap’n
Toxicognaths (toxic jaw)
Chilopoda (lip foot)
