Language is massively underrated.
Here are some words and phrases I always enjoy:
Lupus
Phallocentric
Dichotomy
Cylindrical
Catacombs
Cathartic
Anaphylactic
Itadakimas (Japanese)
Bagel
Tschuss (German)
Interdepartmental
Tardy
Retarded
Cock (as an insult)
Solipsistic
Emancipatory
Faux-
Pseudo-
Sur la table (French)
Joie de vivre (French)
Only since moving away have I realised how brilliant Yorkshire language is. Nothing's better than "gi-or" and my dad's old favourite "thrift's gone scew on't treddle". I miss my accent.
"Bung 'us" your faves, let's see what people are into these days.
Flipside.
