Word Of The Day

Gorgeous George is also the author of my favourite mixed metaphor. Writing in the Morning Star some years ago, he said that Clinton and Blair had stirred up a hornet's nest, sown dragon's teeth and would reap the whirlwind.

 

Cire
Having a waxed, glazed finish

 

Todays word is: Bouche

 

Is bouche used in English!? Like, how? I had no idea Why wasnt i informed before? My heads spinny today

 

In the dictionary it had several meanings. I can't remember what they were.

 

Mais non, c'est Francais seulement

 

We are still on Bouche.

 

La bouche
La boucherie

C'est curieux, non?

 

As in The Mighty Bouche?

Or the Shepherd's Bouche Empire?

 

We get there in the end.

 

Today's word is "queef" - an onomatopoeic word for the sound of vaginal flatulence

 

Today's second word is "quiff" - a prominent forelock (especially one brushed upward from the forehead)

 

I sniggered at "vaginal flatulence"haha

*tells self to grow up*

 

facetious - adj. Intended or intending to be amusing.
(Oxford mini.)

facetious. Also has all the vowels in their correct order.

 

never noticed that! wow. i like facetious even more now. it's also a great putdown for stupid people who make dumb jokes.

i like the word mimetic can i add that?

the website freerice keeps throwing up the word 'nosegay' which makes me snigger like a little girl. apparently it's a synonym for bouquet, which makes sense really.

heh. nosegay.

 

Another word with this quality is abstemious, though otherwise I doubt it's of much use to folk on this forum.

 

Are you saying we're all a bunch of gluttonous, licentious decadents?

 

fuck yeah

not as cool as the words above, but i've always loved the word 'solidarity' just because it feels so nice when you say it. has all the sounds a word should have, i think. if it was human i'd marry it.

 

I love the word solidarity. Sal's Dictionary defines it as: v. To be as middle-class as they come and still stand out in the rain with one's fellow man selling Socialist Worker. More broadly, raising fists, waving banners and good old class war, probably the best war in the world!



I'm afraid you're too late, I proposed to it last week....

 

"Solidarity" always makes me think of that ramshackle socialist big band from the 1980s, The Happy End, who did a rousing version of the Brecht/Eisler anthem of that name. (They were fronted by Sarah-Jane Morris who also recorded Don't Leave Me This Way with the Communards.)
