She shoots, she SCORES!

Ah, yes, folks, this is my 500th post!!!!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Oh, I guess I should make this thread a post builder for those of you hot on my posting heels... so I shall pose a question:

This one's just for fun. What's your favorite word EVER?

I'll start. I already scrapped mine for the naming ceremony: EBULLIENT. It means bubbly, excited. I also love serendipity.

Ok, your turn!!!

[Ursula]

My favorite word is Theatre, said in French with a wonderful accent. dont know why, but I've loved that word since I was 15!

[Ursula]

I also like terribly, like in "I'm terribly cold darling, fetch me a blanket."

[Ursula]

Oh and thanks Krista for the blatant post builder!

[Ursula]

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are now among a very elite class of quirks.

[AmyK]

You are Elite indeed. I will need to think a bit, because no single word pops out at me as my favorite yet.

[AmyK]

Oh yeah, Congratulations! I'm not far behind you. :)

[CathyRose]

I like the word potpourri, it sort of tickles your lips when you say it!:)

[kygirl]

I like diaphonous--doesn't it just sound sinful?

[Vania16]

Congrats! I'll have to stew on a favorite word for a bit :)

[skyescrapz]

I like diaphonous--doesn't it just sound sinful?

Oh yeah, totally. I love it. Very tactile and translucent!

[skyescrapz]

I also like terribly, like in "I'm terribly cold darling, fetch me a blanket."

Is this said with a British accent? (just trying to "hear" how you'd be saying it... to get the total flavor, of course)

[Cre8tvlyYrs]

Woohoo!! You did it!!

[Nevermore]

Well, congratulations Miss Skye! Well done. I don't think it is possible for me to think of a favourite word. I am into "darling" right now and have picked up an Americanism (was in the Falls which is close to the border) where you call everyone "hon" presumable short for honey, not honourable. I have been honned over for the past three days. I find it quite colourful and very warm hearted. Darling is not said with any accent. It is like I have been possessed by Leave it to Beaver.

[AmyK]

I have narrowed it down to one single solitary word:

Indefatigable

I've always loved that word, although it is near impossible to use in everyday conversation.

Nevermore, you were near the Falls? That's where my entire extended family lives (well, in Buffalo). Now I'm extra jealous. That part of Canada is my home away from home (Niagara-on-the Lake and also all the way up to Toronto).

Is that "g" soft or hard? I would be afraid to use it because I don't know how to pronounce it!

[Nevermore]

Uh, Skye, we drove past the Falls (look, hon, there's the Falls!). The golf school was right in Niagara but they worked us indefatigably!

I hereby challenge you to use it as much as possible here at DAQ. Even in gallery comments. Ready, set, go...
(if you can sentence me to wearing a dunce cap, it's the LEAST I can do in return... ) :D

(great word, by the way. excellent choice.)

[skyescrapz]

Ah, the Falls are to be much admired. I'm originally from Buffalo and have been there more times than I can count. The Falls are what I would call awesome, in the true sense of the word (not the overused sense it has fallen into with teenage vernacular). Awe-inspiring. Indefatigably falling falling falling... all that water... Never ceases to amaze and thrill me.

[Ursula]

Ooh, I like everyone's choices. And yes, of course, Terribly and the rest of those words are certainly said in a Brit accent. Everything I can get away with is said with one accent or another. My adoration for accents is indefatiguable.

[Ursula]

Oh, and diaphonous is a terrific word. I also enjoy the work purile. As in, "Oh, don't be so purile dear."

[Ursula]

Or maybe, "Your abilty to behave in a purile fashion is simply indefatigable!"
