One of my favorite words in "Panancea" or cure-all. After I do tai chi, I feel as if that is a panancea for the body, mind and soul.

We often find ourselves explaining what we are talking about. Its just a fun create word that I made up when I got my first kitten. Pupsnicker = puppies; was created after everyone became acquainted with pussnicker and loved it. Cacatapuss = a word that my 4-year-old niece uses to call a cactus. We aren't sure where she got it but she cracks everyone up when she says it! Stunk = Great word in general. My 3-year-old daughter has always tried to say Skunks (we live in a very wooded area and see them often), but it always comes out Stunk. How appropriate!

It means my jeans (as in denim pants). Often, my brain doesn't work as fast as my mouth - so my mouth just fills in the gaps with its own creations.

I think that started my love affair of repeating words in my head. I love the word simply, nothing can be done simply now days. I found your blog while googling how to make a vision board. I could get lost in here. Thanks, Laurie Antidienstablishmentarism and chisenbop are two words I remember Ed McMahon saying on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

You know just what it means, and it's so much more gracious than, "Ick." I also enjoy making the occasional list of beautiful/ugly words. ("Gracious" should be on everyone's Beauty list.)Now I have to go get my notebook and check!

It's one of those hairties shaped like a figure 8 with a plastic marble thing on each end and a metal crimp in the middle. It reminds me of getting in the pool as a kid.

It sounds like a letter in the alphabet, but it takes four extra (unnecessary) letters to spell it. It's fun to write, it's fun to type, and it's fun to spell out loud. It's also fun to mispronounce as "kwee" in front of unsuspecting people. ‘Queue’ is one of my favorites.

Other favorites are: fricassee sassafras & flibbertigibbet. A bonus phrase, to be used when you encounter a dog whose pedigree you're unsure of: "Ah! An andalusian schnapplehund, I presume?"
