Are there any words that make you feel happy? If somebody uses the word "frog" or "analyze" in a sentence, it totally makes my opinion biased in that persons favor because those words make me feel all safe and good.

Hmm... I like the words 'flabbergasted,' 'bon voyage,' and words of other languages that are cognates of English so I can figure out how they're related. For example, "Necesito," necessary, "Gusta" gusto (with much gusto) and "Despierto" wake up. Actually, I don't think that last one's a cognate, but I like to relate it to despair. Hmm... I also like "Goonish," because it reminds me of one of my favorite comics, and "Doggy", because anyone who uses the word doggy HAS to love dogs.

I love words with "Exc" sounds and "Tsy" sounds. Like ecstacy, excruciating, explicit, etcetera. Yeah, etcetera is one of my favorite words, too. Theres one word, thoguh that I absolutely HATE, I cannot STAND, not even to hear it. It's like tearing a cotton ball in half. The word that I never EVER want you to say in front of me is... Fleece.... *shivers violently from even typing it* I hate that word D:< Raar.

Oh! I have quite a few made up words that I like! But... I cannot release them for fear that I might be tracked down through my unique wordery.

Yeah, I say "Ne" a lot in speaking conversation ^^ I also throw in Japanese words. Some of my favorite Japanese words are:
Sugoi!
Kyaa!
Yo! (Sentence ending: Atashi wa shinobi desu yo!)
Sore de wa... (And next is...)
And basically saying any japanese word in english conversation! (Ex: Kyaa! I forgot watashi no enpitsu! Or: Aah, Watashi no bag won't close! [although "bag" in japanese is "Baggu" anyway ^^;])

They do do it a bit with English words dont they? Ive heard they think it makes themselves sound cool. How amusing that we do the same with Japanese.

Goodbye... I hate to say it, but maybe I am antisocial. Anything akin to a fare well is good for me.

yeah, I think it's really cute when an anime character says English words. Like when Naruto goes (in his cute Japanese voice) "Goodu moningu, Sakura-chy-an." (I just wrote the pronunciation, but you get the idea)
Goodbye? That has to be one of my least favorite words ;-; I prefer to say "Bye-bye!" Or "Jaa ne!" Or something happier sounding. Similarly, I don't like saying "Sayonara." It's a sort of "Good bye and I wont see you in a long time" kind of farewell. So I usually say "Jaa ne," or "Baibai" to my Japanese-class-friends.

Toodles, peanuts, doorknob, bacon, liberated, and 'thircle' (like circle, only.. not... It was play night and everyone was a little hyper... >.>) all tend to make me giggle... For absolutely no reason.... >.> I, personally, think I'm just a little odd... ^_^-

I also like words like: crispy crunchy creepy, and clay clair kangaroo. I like the "Kuh" sound. I strongly dislike the americanized "ruh" sound at the beginning of a word (rough, raft, ran)(I like the japanese r/l, though). My least favorite sound in a word is the "fuh" sound. I hate it.

Then you must dislike my name Shippo (starts with a "ruh" sound)
I like the word rain, since were talking about "ruh" sound words. I didnt think of that one before.

Mm, rain... Rain means freshness of air. That's another word I really like, 'fresh'. It's clean, cool, and rebellious. And misty, though it's not rebellious. I LOVE mist and fog. Whenever they turn on the mist in the Classic Fun Center, I always keep in that spot playing in the fog. And when there's actually fog on the streets, I just love taking long walks.

Nah, yours is cool. And anyway, I pronounce your name differently than I pronouce "Ran," or "Raft." I pronounce it with a soft "Re" sound, like Do re me (not like "raay," "Like "Rehh")
But the "Fuh" sounds are the worst. The exception is the Japanese "Fu" which sounds like "hu."

You wouldn't like the word 'fun', for example? Or, perhaps, 'functional'? Or 'fudge'?

Post by Shippo_no_Neko on Oct 7, 2006 10:13:22 GMT -5
Exactly. Fun isn't a word I use a lot. I tend to use Awesome, or Cool, or Interesting.

Hmmmm.... I like words that rhyme with "rain" actually. Like brain pane stain cane train. But I dont like the sound "ain" on its own. If you walked up to me and said "ain" I would be sad.

Basically, since I like the German language so much(my teacher is Tony-_-U)I really like the words Nien, Ja, and Der. When I strongly disagree with something, I say "MIENIENIENIENIENIENIENIENIEEEEN!"When somebody sneezes I say "Gezundhiet, mien komerade."
I probably like it so much because I am of German decent. GO TONIUS!

I rather like German, (I'm of German descent, too), but I prefer words like "Ich" and "Gloch" And "Über" atleast, I think that's German, right?
