| Word of the day besides "murmur". | Login/Join |
Hey all. So, we had a staff meeting at work today and my boss Tory used the word "verve". It's such a positive exuberant word that I have chosen it as my word of the day. Anyone else? Sux? Oh I forgot, we already saw your word....

"Verve" Records. I had a Velvet Underground LP on that label long ago - with Lou Reed, and John Cale, I believe. | ||||
|
I was going to ask if there was a band by that name, I thought there was. I guess thats what I was thinking of. Guffaw is another good word, haven't heard anybody guffaw recently. How about punctiliously? Your turn Doug, I'm sleepy...This message has been edited.

rocket, there is (or was) a band called The Verve. They had a massive hit ten years ago (in the UK, at least) with a song called "Bittersweet Symphony". I like to guffaw, but I also like a good chortle. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Listen to my Bradbury 100 podcast: https://tinyurl.com/bradbury100pod | ||||

Seriously, I chuckled when I read chortled. Thanks for Verve info. She stood silently looking out into the great sallow distances of sea bottom, as if recalling something, her yellow eyes soft and moist... rocketsummer@insightbb.com | ||||

Actually Greg and Phil I was flummoxed when I read your posts! | ||||
|
Say, Phil, have you ever been to LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH? | ||||
|
You mean "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave"? I've never been there. Phil Nic? "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
Adler is a good word. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
Flummoxed is a good one Biplane. You addled me with that one, Doug. Are you making up words again?  She stood silently looking out into the great sallow distances of sea bottom, as if recalling something, her yellow eyes soft and moist... rocketsummer@insightbb.com | ||||

It's an inside joke. But it is a good word. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
OK, here's one from the great Bob Elliot: What is the only word in the English language that contains 3 consecutive dotted letters? | ||||
|
LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH is a good word. No, I've never been there. But I hear the sign at the railway station is longer than the platform. [Translation for American readers: the sign at the railroad station is longer than the track.] That word with three consecutive dotted letters could be Yiiipeeeeee!! - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Listen to my Bradbury 100 podcast: https://tinyurl.com/bradbury100pod | ||||
|
Hmmmm. BrII, maybe, "a salutation to bad luck." Here is an easy one ~ A woorrdd that has three consecutive different letters doubled, other than "yiippee." | ||||
|
Butch, ya mean "bookkeeper"? Nobody's guessed mine yet... | ||||
