Ewwww, get that nomenclature off me.
I have always enjoyed a good word. Not the "Good Word", although I enjoy that also, but a good word. Here are a few of my favorite and why I like them.
Nomenclature: the act of giving a name to something. (Sounds like something you grew in a petri dish back in elementary school).
Gomer: The name of a comedy character. (How could you not like the name Gomer Pile?) What a great name. Not only is it a name, but it is also synonymous with moron. try putting another name in place of Gomer like this. Instead of "You Gomer!", try saying "You Dan!", or "You George!". Doesn't quite have the ring of Gomer.
Orifice: Need I say more. There are very few words that, by themselves, can make you cringe when you here them. Orifice, Orifice, Orifice. What is amazing about this word is the power it has. You can take almost any other word, even funny or nice ones, and add the word orifice and it changes the whole "feeling" generated by the funny word. Here are some examples:
- Funny word: Gomer, Not funny: Gomer's Orifice (translation: Gomer's Mouth)
- Funny word: Abundant, Not funny: There are Abundant Orifices (do we really need more than one?)
Gesticulate: Sounds like somebody with a spitting problem, which could be one form of gesticulation. How I would use the word. "Mom, Christy won't stop gesticulating at me!" It means to signals, especially when speaking. Actually, have you ever noticed those people that can't talk without huge bodily gyrations (another good word)? A single sentence for a normal person is almost like a broadway production for them. I always have a hard time talking to people like that without laughing. I try not to do it, but I try and imagine what it would be like if they had no arms. I don't think they could talk. All I can see is a person that looks like a hot dog would if you held it in the air and shook it back and forth. A wiggly, limp piece of meat.
Undulation: This is a really cool word. Waviness or to make wavy. Is n't it fun to say? You couldn't say "I undulated goodbye" for example. Wrong kind of wave. You could say that the ground seemed to undulate after your first smooch with the woman of your dreams. (that would be my wife Tannie. :)
Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite word. Underpants! It just makes you giggle. You have to be careful when you use a word as strong as underpants. You can't just walk up to somebody and say underpants. You may get a funny look, or you may get 10 to 20 years in a state penitentiary. I think the word is so coolo because of the associations it brings to mind. Here are a few: Tighty-whities, long johns (why not long gregs?), booty, poop (just a fun word), "What ya eating under there?", the list just keeps going.
I know that everybody reading this is feeling much more intelligent. I hope that you will all go out and share your new found knowledge with a stranger (just don't use underpants) and help them to become as articulate as you have now become.
