Anybody know of any cool adjectives? No, I don't mean adjectives that are related to low temperatures. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I mean adjectives with a fancy meaning. Anything at all.

For example, the adjective 'suave' sounds dandy and has a nifty meaning also.

I realise that the 'coolness' of adjectives is very subjective. One might even say that some don't like the word 'suave'. Whatever. Admit it - you know there are some adjectives that just do sound cool. [img]tongue.gif[/img]


Thanks in advance.

Moxy. Don't even ask me what it means. Google it. Bitch.

<font color=steelblue>Dalamar...cool it with the cussing/name-calling. I'm surprised you'd post something like this after seeing Zebodog's warning earlier. Read the TOS again. This is the SECOND warning for you in a week.

Don't push for a third. </font>

Smarmy is a nice little adjective. Mangy, scruffy... yep, I've got a dog.

And I just had a chance to use "blithely" the other day. That was pretty neat... you don't see that often in conversation.

Dalamar, don't know why you'd post that but I'm pretty sure you do know better.

Uss, effervescent was always a favorite one of mine.

I enjoy "eldritch", especially when DMing... I'm also a fan of "effervescent", Cloudy. I also like "ethereal" and "lilting". "Base" and "Common", although snobby, can be very accurate when I'm trying to describe someone's behaviour or perhaps a popular movie... I suppose the pattern is that they all sound rather like what they mean. And I also feel obligated to toss a noun in here: No discussion of favourite words is complete without "defenestrate." That's one I sometimes use three, four times a day.

LOL, so long as you don't use it while doing it, Illumina! I like eldritch too but it's a hard one to work into the conversation at the office!

It was a friendly one, like Dave Chapelle does.

Dalamar, if you cause the language rules to be tightened again I will defenestrate you. [img]smile.gif[/img]

defenestrate me? That sounds like a botched castration.....
