Long Words

Career

I have so enjoyed blogging and combined with a return to reading, I am finding my vocabulary has improved exponentially. I thought I would showcase a few of my favorites which I am sure, will help me as I strive for success:

Neolithic:
Pertaining to the Last phase of the Stone Age. Totally useless but such a great descriptive word

Agamemnon:
The commander of the Greeks in the Trojan war and son of King Atreus of Mycenae. What a superb word (and what a great name for a dog).

Salubrious:
Promotes health and/or pertaining to all things healthy. How fabulous a word. I feel virtuous merely typing it.

Sentient:
The power of perception that is directly linked to the senses and can also be referred to as 'The Conscious Mind'. AKA "Gosh, I feel very sentient today" **not the correct usage but I urge everyone to start using it and maybe we will invoke a revolution, particularly amongst the student world {It is the perfect way to demonstrate how one is recovering from a hangover}

Totemic:
A natural object given the status as the emblem of a group, family or clan. Sometimes distinctive. Sometimes weird.

Schlong:
A naughty choice and taken for the German 'Schlange', meaning serpent,

Perpetrator:
Someone or thing that commits a heinous crime. A strange choice but it has a nice ring to it and maybe linked to my recent discovery of 'Law and Order'.

Meniscus:
A marvelous word but the use of which is sadly restricted to commentary regarding the knee (i.e helpful for skiers and squash players).

I'll try and incorporate all the other into my day to day but will, of course, be on the lookout for more.. Ahh words, they add to the tapestry of life, make us chuckle and make us frown. I will continue my search for the ultimate word list!
