Big Words - Make You Sound Smart?

Indubitably - try saying that when you've had a too many drinks.

Who says recompense or remunerate anymore?

I try to find ways to use these words, but I just can't find a scenario where compensate isn't a better choice.

Let's leave it up to our hair follically-challenged literate friend. While you're at it, Jim, please clue me in on this reference to your alien abduction.

 

Gnarly - a very good thing

Way - indeed

Dude - well, just about anything

Rad - see gnarly

Abductie - See Jim

Bummer - Meniere's

 

Ever get a word obsessively stuck in your head like a song that gets stuck in your head, and you hear the word over and over all day long and sometimes even for days, and it's often an unusual word and sometimes you have no idea why it's there because you don't even remember hearing it that day in the first place?
Or is it just another manifestation of my quirky brain?

 

Oh crap! Now I'll be singing ~~~remunerate ... remunerate ... remunerate~~~ in my head all dang day long!!! Thanks Burd!

 

its a small world after all, its a small world after all, its a small, small world after all.

 

Try typing after to many drinks

 

Thanks CDawg, now another one to obsess over ...

~~~It's a world of laughter, a world of tears.
It's a world of hope and a world of fears.
In this world that we share
It is time we're aware ...

remunerate ... remunerate ... remunerate ~~~

Crap!! :-[

 

All I can say is my FAVORITE word "conundrum"... hehe

 

Oh dear now I got them too.
It's a small world after all...
It's a small world...remunerate...remunerate...
I'm in trouble if this is how my day is starting.
Throw in sleep deprivation and things are certain to go wonky.

 

OMG I'm not kidding but that was my obsessive word for a couple of days last week!!
Conundrum, conundrum, conundrum...it's like a chant.

 

I like to go to plant lover's homes and ask if I could look at their aspidistra.

 

hahah - i love this thread - I too love words and I'm learning to use words that I know the meaning of and not words just to sound big - which well to me words over two syllables are hard -

okay - if you are going to type word at least say meaning or some of it - I had vertigo last night and lttle sleep and canont use dictionary today

 

ME TOO Burd!!!! I just love to say it out loud.....awww simple joys for my simple mind... :

Sorry "A" .... In general: Conundrum, is a riddle whose answer is or involves a pun or unexpected twist
