My friends waaaay back in high school used to call me the walking dictionary because my love affair with words started so very young. <br /><br />One of my favorites as a two year old was indubitably. One of my lifetime favorites is obscure because it's both fun to say and sounds like what it means. Would I be considered pretentious for admitting that I already knew pasquinade? <br /><br />BTW I'm Blaize19 on the Twitters and wanted to thank you for always being so responsive when I mention you!

I ...This is a new word to me, and a wonderful one.<br /><br />I love to collect delicious words like this one. And I also love when I'm speaking or writing, and I find the *exact* word to convey what I'm thinking. It's a very satisfying feeling!Kim Fieldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351107783738983028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-82252822000832376142013-05-22T20:39:30.476-07:002013-05-22T20:39:30.476-07:00I loooooove words.I loooooove words.Rhys Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287587971057960987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-85815067976694065632013-05-22T04:36:23.927-07:002013-05-22T04:36:23.927-07:00I get the word of the day and have the same kind o...I get the word of the day and have the same kind of reactions you do. Most of the time, I know the word already and I wonder "is my vocabulary that good or do they pander to a less educated audience?" and then they throw a word like pasquinade (which made me think of satin and sequins for some reason) and I learn something new. <br /><br />Words, I loves them. Currently my favorites include serendipity. I not only like the way it sounds but I like what it mean.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-80779256849928264262013-05-21T16:13:33.822-07:002013-05-21T16:13:33.822-07:00I want a masquerade in the pasquinade.
