I've recently been on a search for words that would bring a smile - or represent life in a little bit different way. Its been lots of fun.
Here are a few that I especially like:
Balderdash - Nonsense
Cahoots - Collusion
Discombobulate - Confuse
Folderol - Nonsense
Gallimaufry - Hodge Podge
Kerfuffle - Commotion
Lollygag - Dawdle
Persnickety - Very Particular
Piffle - Trivial Nonsense
Rigamarole - Intricate set of procedures
Tom Foolery - Silly Act
Woolgathering - Idyl Daydreaming
So my new year's challenge is to use these and other words like them -- here and there - spattering them into my days whether printed or spoken. Just having fun...
"My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities." - Mario Testino
