Mine is insidious as it sounds cool and is apt in our modern world of fast news
Quixotic - cannot even remember what it means
It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that’s what it meant.
Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.
I think it means like a person is taking something that is foolish or misguided far to seriously.
Yes :) , it looks that it takes its roots to Don Quixote (english is not my first language but come on, Don Quixote I could have remembered that)
I means acting in a manner that’s hard to understand.
ℹ️ “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical”
Discombobulated. The first time I heard it, an old man I worked with had used it and I gave him shit for it because I thought he had made it up. I still laugh about that sometimes
Paraphernalia is a fantastic word for “stuff”
Facetiously has all the vowels, in order, including “y”.
Fuck. Fuck can mean so many things. Just all round best word of all time.
We use it up here as a form of punctuation, if you can find it check out Bowser and Blue: Use of Fuck in Canada
Asinine. It’s a perfect descriptor and it’s succinct.
Onomatopoeia, it’s a fun word on it’s own, but I love the while idea of it. Especially in other languages, like the million different words for dog barks.
Serene
Good
Applause

Incredible
Hope

It’s got such a pleasing sound to the ear, feels nice in the mouth when you say it, and even looks pretty nice on the page.
It means something in an advance state of use, with connotations of neglect or disrepair, and is often used to describe things that would be thrown away were they not rendered nessesary by being the only option.
To me it evokes urchins, rags, wildflowers, and a little bit of magic.
I will be trying to shoe string this in to my vocabulary!

Ah, yes, the state or being of believing in NOTHING
Lackadaisical.
ℹ️ “lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy”
Effective has two effs. I appreciate that defective only has one eff. Like, if you give an eff about something, you can make what doesn’t work, work.
Someone already took cattywampus, so I guess I’ll go with ennui or petrichor.
Bonus: triskaidekaphobia.
(Intense fear of the number 13.)
Thanks MTG.
