I personally really like the word "incensed." It's so dramatic...and sounds really legit when expressing your anger. Haha


Also..."explosive diarrhea"
hahahahahahaha. Might be a bit immature, but that one cracks me up every time. Like spit my drink out funny

Ubiquitous

I like the concept of pervasiveness, the sound of the word and the and the Latin origin. There is even a proteine named 'ubiquitin'. It was given the name before scientists understood its function because biochemists found it in almost all the cells they studied. Its function is to 'tag' other proteins that are defective or are no longer necessary for removal and destruction from the cell.

I really like the word promise. The way its so simple, rolls off the tongue so beautifully 🙂 and for all it means when said in honesty 🙂

Conversely lol, I despise the word, 'horny.'

I got a got a lil bit of sunshine...



Oh I like how diarrhea is spelled.

I grew up in Asia, and went to the US for college. My friend who's the same used to pronounce Chipotle as "chi-pot-tall".

And I like how I have a friend named Jesus. First day of class in the US and I'm like... "Jee-sus? Hay-zooz?"

And I always used to pronounce jalapenos and mojito with "ja" and "ji" 'cause I didn't know.

And I always accidentally call papayas as payayas.



And in this Merc Rx, I've taken to telling people "You're Merc Rx-ing me"/"I just Rx-ed myself"/"STHAAAAAPPPPPPPPP 😭😭😭"

Ridic, ricockulous, ass blast, fupa, cock blocking, chode, crotch cricket; on and on. Since I read a lot I am highly entertained with slang and current. Some take you by surprise and make you grin or laugh every time.

and I'm thinking 'crotch cricket' paints a totally different picture in my mind than in yours!!
