Fuselage is my current favourite. I also like opaque.
Also, the 'cellar door' thing was a Tolkein observation. In 'Donnie Darko' she says it was 'a famous linguist'.

OH i didn't even see that.

ha I looked this up to thank whoever it was on the Baby Got Back topic for introducing me to callipygian. Although I think I prefer the variant callipygous. It's instantly up there with that trusty old favourite, defenestrate.
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 00:43 (fifteen years ago)
callipygian shows up an awful lot in conan books iirc
― k¸ (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 00:46 (fifteen years ago)
i mean "she was a callipygian delight" and i was all "from what country now?"
Not yr favourite word if you had a kinda cool but scarily intense latin teacher doing the etymology and then going on a disquisition about all things callipygian. Defenestration was also learnt in his class but that's a fine word. I think he may have thrown a textbook out the window by way of example actually.

I remember my joy in learning the meaning of defenestrate, looking it up after reading it in Pnin, with crystal clarity. Which is kinda hella sad.
Nabokov and the Baby Got Back analysis thread, nothing but the cream of the literary crop for me.

fucken keyboard. i typed 'litterally?', which was p good imo.

ha, thought about posting that like a smartass as I was clicking on the thread! someone I work with is the ultimate stereotype of the person who misuses "literally". she throws it out there at least twice a day

i love the word treasure. i don't know why i love it so much. i also love most words that start with the letter f or the letters ph. flimflam. philanderer. phrenology. philoprogenitiveness. fuzzy.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 02:32 (fifteen years ago)
a professor friend of mine had a student named treasure! sounds like a made-up name, but it was apparently real.
the name sort of fit, tbh.
