I love this word:
Muditā (Pāli and Sanskrit: मुदिता) means joy. It is especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being rather than begrudging it. The opposite of schadenfreude or of envy.

It's so much fun to say!

I've posted this one plenty, I still love it.


I think the best part about this one is how they get away with so few.

I like surreptitious for multpiple reasons:

First of all it means stealthy/secretly, or in proper dictionary terms: obtained, done, made, etc., by stealth; secret or unauthorized; clandestine:

Second because parts of it contain or sound like surreal, rapture, tits and anything ending with -ious (of which the first two that pop in my head are delicious and voloptuous)

Thought of the word "lobular" on my way to work.
It's one of those words that evokes its meaning.
Say it with me...lobular.

It also reminded me of this video about words and word sounds.


lobular-lobular-lobular...

Concupiscence - sexual desire

Concatenate - link together

Yurt - kind of a tent common to the steppes

The word Yurt was ruined for me when I heard Mark Stein say it 257 times in 15 minutes.

Man you guys should read some Marshall McLuhan - reportedly he would occasionally get so fixated on a word that he would simply repeat it aloud over and over and over, in different emphases, volumes, accents...

I love all sorts of words. I am not sure I could begin to make a list, but 'pecuniary' comes to mind. It means something relating to money, wealth, or finance.

Also a super cool space sorcerer created by Jim Starlin

Is that a loincloth, or is he sitting on a really uncomfortable rock formation?

Loincloth.... he floats alot. In case anyone is wondering he is from the comic Dreadstar.

Minchia - Italian for either penis or testicles (I've been told both), but mostly it's used as an exclamation. I like it since most people around here don't know what I'm saying. "Oh Michia!"
