I love words. Not in a grammar-snob sense (although I do cringe when phrases like “we seen” and “we gone” come out of mouths employed by my children’s school district…). Just good words make me happy. Words like ill-gotten. Unfettered. Nether regions.
Persnickety. Crapulent. Vague. Apothecary.
Food words make me happy too: Garnish. Capers. Saute. Gruyere.*
And lately, the word chunder. Because a vomit story is funny, but even the most humiliating vomit story is better when someone’s chundering. Preferably chundering over the side of a boat or out a window of a moving vehicle. Don’t just take my word for it. Try it.
*Mmmm. Gruyere.
I've never heard that word. Now I'm going to run around using it all day.

There's a service at http://www.wordie.org where you can compile a list of all your favourite words. I like the term wordie. Kind of parallels the term foodie, doesn't it?

Wow. Chunder. I've never heard that word before–let alone used in conjunction with barfing. Another word for the lexicon luvr! Away!
