So, here's a little section I'm going to fondly label WORDS OF THE WEEK. During the course of my short life, I have come across certain words that either annoy the hell out of me, or make my heart sing with pleasure as they pass through my lips. For the most part, the feelings of either severe annoyance or pleasure have little to do with the actual meaning of the word alone, and more to do with the sound of the word as it relates to its meaning.
So, for this week:
- very, VERY annoying word: GARGANTUAN
(...needs no explanation, really.)
- sensuously pleasureful word: VAPID (c'mon. try it. say VAPID out loud. now, try it again, except this time drop your voice an octave, makeing it sound as smokey and sexy as possible, and over-pronounce the V and the D. nice, yeah?)
I realize it's Thursday, and therefore not the beginning of the week. But bear with me. I might just start a fresh, new WORDS OF THE WEEK on Sunday or Monday.
