Short words are also great, and I bet you know what's coming next.<br /><br />My favourite is Twat. Hang on a mo and don't start beating me down with a stick for thinking a swear word is great. Just think of the different ways Twat can be used.<br /><br />As a term of endearment: "Oh...[laughter], you daft twat."<br /><br />As anger: "Oi, you TWAT!"<br /><br />When in pain: "Oh you twwwat!" <br /><br />The list is endless, and the same goes for the word TIT!<br /><br />I had a chat with Col Bury last week and the above was discussed at length. Us Mancunians know what we're on about, you know!<br /><br />Happy Sunday!<br /><br />HA!!!!!<br /><br />Word verification: kuntz - there's another good word.David Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006533626998905560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536979460489400599.post-30522401039536988612011-03-13T13:29:20.682+00:002011-03-13T13:29:20.682+00:00oh, and penumbra.oh, and penumbra.John Xerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492709629314280633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536979460489400599.post-78108135340695792552011-03-13T11:34:53.040+00:002011-03-13T11:34:53.040+00:00visceral, apotheosis, effulgence, tenebrous...
(no...visceral, apotheosis, effulgence, tenebrous...<br />(not that I get to use them often, except visceral, maybe)<br /><br />And I like bulbous for the way it sounds, the way you can roll it round in your mouth, the way that it actually feels phonically bulbous...<br /><br />In terms of stories I try and mix things up, genre and cliché and trope. I guess I have a weakness for the classic hero, in some fashion or other... The low made mighty, the wronged become righteous, the unlikely lad stepping up at just the right moment...John Xerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492709629314280633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536979460489400599.post-12508566313104129912011-03-13T10:07:54.672+00:002011-03-13T10:07:54.672+00:00I do love words.

Serendipity sends ripples of its own, others, like forever, can send a ripple of chill, depending on context.<br />I wrote a mini guide to writing erotic literature, mentioning fabric as something that is often left out, along with touch. Writers use the senses of seeing, hearing, speaking, not always smelling (spirit come to me with perfume or after shave which is why I never wear any myself) and mostly not touch. Fabric is a big part of that.<br />Interesting thoughts here.Antonia Woodvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594229396805493611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536979460489400599.post-84196653602624728812011-03-13T09:48:03.954+00:002011-03-13T09:48:03.954+00:00Loving all your thoughts and words.

Interesting...*imaging you rolling around in fabric*<br />Interesting that your love of bulbous, tactile words is so similar to they way you love to touch fabric.
