you probably didn't know this but i'm a logophile...

Now before you contact the local authorities it means "lover of words", ya cynic.
so there will probably be quite a few of these vocab posts of words I'd love to be able to use in everyday conversation without sounding like a pretentious douchette but alas those are not the cards we're dealt so I'm forced to indulge myself here.


formication- the imaginary sensation one gets of bugs crawling on the skin.


defenestrate- to throw something out the window.


lethologica- describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.


kenophobia - fear of open spaces.


eldritch- suggesting the operation of supernatural influences.


bellicose - having or showing a ready disposition to fight.


metagrabolized
- totally perplexed and mixed up.


pugnacious - tough and callous by virtue of experience.


well those are a few of my favorite words. you should try and use one at your next dinner party or mosh pit, i'm not here to force labels on you:)

  1. Does this mean facetious has stopped being your favorite word??? I do remember a time when you had to use it everyday and were so excited the first day you heard it.
