Best Words Ever


I saw this list the other day and thought these really were fun words!  I think my favorite is Shenanigans and I must confess that I like a good shenanigan.
Other words I use are nincompoop (there seem to be more of them all the time), discombobulated, malarky, persnickety and whatchamacallit.  I use some of the others occasionally.
What about you?  Do you use any of these words?

I think I have used all of these words at one time or another, except the last one. I don't think I've ever even heard that word before.

I believe I have used or at least heard all of these words except Flummoxed. They are all pretty funny tho!

Linda said...

Sadly, probably all of them, LOL.

Good gracious, I need a few new words to add to my vocabulary. I have used thingamajig and whatchamacallit. I like what you said about nincompoop. That's the truth! :)

I used flibbertigibbet, whatchamamcallit and thingamajig quite often. Ihave used all of the others at one time or another except codswallop and kerfluffle... but I may just add them to my vocabulary because they sound fun!

I use all of them apart from dingleberry (that's a new one) and we say pernickety (without an s, meaning fussy)

I don't use any of them often but the only two I haven't used are canoodle and codswallop. They are, indeed, funny words!!

You are my hero, because you are a nurse! I love new words, and these are both descriptive and silly. I actually use eight of them!! I will add cahoots.

Whippersnapper, discombobulated, persnickety, flabbergasted, shenanigans, thingamajig, whatchamacallit, gobbledygook - all ones I use from time to time. It's funny to see them all in a list!

LL Cool Joe said...

I don't think I've used any of them, maybe whatchamacallit. :D

Dianna said...

There were only a couple of these words that I don't use! I loved seeing the list and going down over it to see if there were any that I used and then had to chuckle because of how many of them I do use...

Jenny the Pirate said...

I use every one of those words! Also I am a curmudgeon and instead of money I often say spondulicks. Top that! xoxo
