Words you don't hear much anymore.

[Tom Collins]

For the written word....well.....that's another thing completely.

Don't I know it? I've just finished editing my first story, with help from a wonderful lady. Hard(no double entendre) doesn't cover it.

Addition to word list:
enigmatic
eclectic

 

[The_Darkness]

eloquent
ruddy
masterful

It seems, though, no matter how much my speaking vocabular seems to shrink and become cluttered with more and more explatives, my written vocabulary seems to maintain a constant level.

Unless I'm arguing with amicus, and then it just goes all to shit.

 

[Tom Collins]

I already said ruddy. *nasty grin*

how about...
excrement
angular

 

[The_Darkness]

I have this thing about not reading entire posts....which has given me an ass-beating from Colly and a few others on some occassions....

How about these:

Atari
Pachinko
savant

Hey man, if everyone went back to playing Atari's, the world would be a better place. 4 bit graphics and cheap midi's and sound effects...what more should we ask for?

But, if you want to play it that way....

emmolation.

 

[Unsung Muse]

It makes me happy that I use a majority of these words at least once a week in the factory I work at. Except the odd ones...."Rummy" is a little hard to work into a conversation about hydraulic cylinders.... My vernacular is perpetually pummeled by hooligans assailing our tongues and quashing our ears with the uterance of the spiteful and vulgar.

I guess this would sound a tad out of character then...
"Hey Rummy, nice slacks! Off to a shindig?"

Yeah, but "Hey Hippie! 1965 called, it wants its hair back, crackhead!" is heard everyonce in a while.

buttmunch
cock knocker

Faise: frozen cum bubble on a stick.<--my fav.

Actually, I think he took personal offense from it. And so did his relatives.

Ahhh, "cock-knocker" ~ that's a real favorite of mine!

Don't apologize. There are losts of great insults that we could revive.

Like...ass gasket for instance.

I've got a soft spot for "spaz"

Naa, actually, I started this with words which cultural references had become obsolete.

Like Rave (the music genre/party venue)
