Adding one last stockpile of words I've gathering along the way of the last books I'll be reading this year. They all fall under the categories of sounds cool, new-to-me, or great usage altogether. So, you know, it's a real exact science. ;) I put my faves in bold.
- wherry
- athwart
- aseity
- suprarational
- avocation
- henin
- undine
- bodge
- erudite
- bonhomie
- eyas
- foundered
- demesne
- ragout
- groat
- virago
- cock-a-hoop
- blenches
- treacly
- geomancy
- investiture
- leveret
- arcana
- stanchions
Kimmie, every time I read one of these list of words, I always smile because I think back to high school when you used to carry a piece of paper around that had a list of names you loved that one day you might name your kids. And, if I am correct, those list of names that you carried around for years didn't make the cut when you actually chose your kids name. :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, no. Poor Hagan Jeremiah didn't make the cut. Eli Wesley did not either - Josh said he would be beat up every day at school. Giggle. :}
ReplyDeleteAnd for record, I do also remember the list of 5 names we narrowed it down to for Noah. I can still see us on the couches in our little GA home. Emmett (what was I thinking then, too), Benjamin, Samuel, Matthew, and Noah. :)
