what about bedroom golf?

So what are the rules of that?

Is it a three hole course?

[cuppatea]

I was always told it was where you tried to get the stick in the hole but keep the balls out of the hole.

It’s the watering hole at the end that is always attractive.

technically seven without special tooling. I wouldn't know, I've never played more than two. Golf's a stupid sport anyway, I far prefer luge.

Is that the one where you slide down hill on a old tea tray?

indoor - so it's down the staircase with your bum in the air.

Sounds enticing.

A least it’s not Skeleton.

On words, there's one word that gives me a nervous tick, "irregardless." I want to reach though the screen and throttle the writer.

What about unantidisirregardless?

I dare you to say that to @onehitwanda!

Do you have any words you like using, despite, or maybe because, they are recherché, abstruse, recondite or arcane?

In the wildly ambitious but probably futile attempt to get this thread back on track... here's some words I've been dying to use...

Peruse - as in my upcoming epic "Enchantress", you the professional wizard would peruse a grimoire

Grimoire - a tome of mystic incantations

Tome - at best a grimoire, at worst a ratty old book that still must be perused for mystic incantations (at least if your customer is watching).

Incantations - they're actually run-of-the-mill magic spells, but if you went to all the trouble to peruse a grimoire (read a magic book) the word "spell" will not get your customer to part with their A/M Dollars. But! an "incantation" sounds pricy and will fetch a good penny, a "grimoire" invokes images of foreign lands where food is served with sauce rather than gravy, where people talk funny and everything is pricy, and peruse sounds like hard work. Oh yeah, they'll pay for that seaweed tea you sold them as a potion that will hasten someone's death or prevent theirs. Just be sure to be wearing your phylactery.

Phylactery - a device the professional wizard wears to prevent you from being turned into a newt by a disgruntled customer.

I dare you to say that to @onehitwanda!

I must warn you, I am easily led.

While recently driving through the Piedmont area of Virginia, I passed through Goochland County. I asked myself, "What is a gooch, and why does it deserve to have some land named after it?"

Since my wife was riding in the passenger seat, she volunteered to do a little research while I drove. She was quite amused by the definition of the word when she found it: "Gooch refers to the area between a man's anus and testicles."

Now I will be forced to research whether another state somewhere has a Perineum County, and what its county seat might be named.

You are J K Rowling putting on another persona. You are fooling no one .

Here in Taintland we've got another name for that.

Penetrate as in "slowly and deeply penetrate".

Excruciating. She teased me in the most excruciating way.
Consuming.

But now my fucking mind remembered this:

'Exquisite' is a word I find myself using in every story I write

'Velvety' is another one I have a real passion for dropping in there too

 

[yowser]

In my most recent tale:

Allomorphic, maieutics, hermeneutics

 

[Duleigh]

In my discword series:
Multitheistic Amphibology (It's a field of study)
Plutography
Pollex
thaumaturgical bibliothecography (Librarian of Magical Books)
High Powered Assault Fly-rod (It's not fancy but I bet I'm the first to write it)

I love the word "buttocks." I don't think it's sexy. It makes me chuckle. I try to use it once--but only once--in every story. I usually like to make them wobble.

Don't be ashamed - it's an awesome word. And when they wobble it's even better!

This conversation reminds me of:

 

[lustychimera]

"Won't" It's such a basic simple word, but honestly, I can't recall the last time that I've actually seen it used. I think I'm going to go out of my way to use it more.
