Akashic
 

Akashic!
 

TINTINNABULATION: The tolling of bells. Onamatapoetic. Found in a number of applications, notably Lowery's Under The Volcano during a description of a funeral procession.
 

Cafe -- because it is still a word when it is a number: 0xCAFE.
 

Defenistration: the act of pushing someone out of a window.
 

Pardon me: defenEstration
 

Blimey!
 

El Guapo, as in:

"In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us." This is from the movie, The Three Amigos, of course.

(El Guapo actually means "the handsome" in Spanish. If the person you are calling "El Guapo" becomes aware of this fact, it may somewhat spoil the fun.)
 

English: aquamarine

Italian: capo (as in "capo di macchina")

German: Zeitgeist

Croatian: cvrčak
 

Vicarious, cause it looks violent, but its meaning is innocent. Well, in twisted contexts I'm sure it could...mmm, nevermind.
 

Hi,

cam anybody explain "Akashic" for me ?
(question from Munich, Germany)

Yours, Bodo
 

Google Akashic!
 

Canine Crusade. Can it be a combination?
 

What is whith this akashic epidemic phenomenon?
 

1) Cunt

2) Nigger

My intent is not vulgarity. These words are genuinely fascinating to me.
 

Booyah!
 

Purple, because it sounds pretty but has the explosive "puh" sound. Twice! Which makes it very satisfying to say when frustrated. Same with bugger, really, but although satisfying to say it doesn't come in conversation as much...
 

Dusk. And Utopian, bugger does come into more conversation if you use it in place of some more commonly said curse words ( I work with kids and try to refrain from the others but with the right inflection, bugger works quite well)
 

a name: Queequeg! (polynesian sailor/warrior in Moby Dick and beloved prairie dog.)
 

My favourite word to see written is ZOOM but I don't like how it sounds.
My favourite word to say is an spanish word:
COÑO
and the therapeutic power of this word is undeniable.
You can say it angry,surprised,happy,resigned... and it always make you feel better.
 

Forgive.
 

Guarnate means sex in my own lenguage!! dont be copying my word!!
 

etimologia!
 

ascendancy
 

supercalifragilisticespialidocious! LOL!
 

"Can"
 

I would choose the word WHY?

I feel that this single word exists in order for knowledge to manifest. This simple noun is the provocative 'ingredient' that must be articulated initially...followed by a listening moment in order to learn.
 

'celeriac' and 'samphire'
 

Negative- as in "your tests came back negative."
 

If not the most useful, certainly the most usable. Is there a sentence in the language, used as a noun, verb, or adjective, that "shit" cannot be used?
 

Why?
 

MOIST !!
 

maybe
 

the word "word" - there is no letter "letter" nor a sentence "sentence". It is the only written expression that contains its own meaning, except, perhaps, if one were to compose a poem consisting of nothing but the word "poem" or a song whose only lyric was the word "song"(or "lyric", i guess). The word "something" is also somewhat self containing in terms of its meaning, but not in the same fashion as the word "word". Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know? If I am, please someone tell me so.
 

juxtapose
 

i like the way "hydraulic" sounds when you spell it... "ach-why-dee-are-aye-you-el-eye-see"

just rolls off the tongue...

that and, "histrionics"
 

marmalade
 

Карандаш is my favorite word.
Ka-ran-DAHSh
It means "pencil" in Russian.
 

Elbow- go on say it , it rolls off your tougue.
 

Satan is a pretty word :D
