Best Word

[canadaguy]

What do you consider to be the best word


I will go first

My pick is beverage

Even the word by itself is refreshing and delicious.

 

[Ben]

The best word is 'best', it says so on the tin.

Satisfying to say? Maybe 'prevaricate'.

Word I learned from an episode of Doug? 'Antidisestablishmentarianism'.

 

[Quagmire]

I always liked the words imbibe and proffer

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Tricked. Duped. Deceived. Hoodwinked. Bamboozled.

HORNSWOGGLED!!!

 

[canadaguy]

I always liked the words imbibe and proffer

You could imbibe a beverage that someone had proffered to you

 

[Benzine]

i like the word slum

 

[dimmerwit]

Cromulent.

 

[Jawneh]

I like acquiesce a lot even if I rarely get to use it.

Otherwise, I'd say dingdong.

 

[shortkut]

I used to think penultimate was the best word, end of discussion, but it’s probably second best

 

[VashTheStampede]

Defenestration is my personal favorite

 

[shortkut]

Tenesmic is one of my real favorites

Abscond is a good one too

 

[Nae'blis]

Cahoots is amazing.

 

[Smacktard]

Defenestration is my personal favorite

Same. I also like vexed, quintessential... And I say dude a lot.

Dude!

canadaguy will support me that "buddy" is a good one too, I think. It's great way to refer to someone you don't know, or someone strange, or someone who is vexing you... or just a fren.

 

[Crystal]

Negative. As in the test came back negative. It's a word that brings relief. Though lately that word refers to my bank account more than my blood tests, so...maybe I don't like that word as much as I thought I did...

I'm not your buddy, guy.

 

[Nae'blis]

I'm not your buddy, guy.

I'm not your guy, pal.

 

[Jawneh]

Oh, we're all wrong.

I was told by a second grader that "first" is the worst and "second" is the best.

And also that "third" is the one with the hairy chest.

 

[Crystal]

I'm not your guy, pal.

I'm not your pal, fweind!

Oh, we're all wrong.

This might be fact. Need to run it through some science first.

 

[Quagmire]

That is a good one, dont mention it in Prague though!

Joke aside it is a great word

Yeah buddy is great when someone is being a degen in your general vicinity and you say to someone "and we got buddy over here being a complete degen"



Degen is also a great word

 

[Nae'blis]

In swedish we have a word, "stolpskott", which is fantastic. Directly translated it means pole shot, likely originating from the sport world, i.e hitting the pole instead of scoring in hockey or whatevs.

We use it to refer to basically a dumbass.

"That guy is a real stolpskott!"

 

[Quagmire]

Kheelhaul

 

[Jawneh]

I guess I could drop the good old "perkele" here too.

 

[Nae'blis]

Perkele is awesome.

I love the German word Kummerspeck, translate to grief bacon and means weight gained from emotional eating

 

[shortkut]

My girls were playing with their kitchen set and just wanted to cut and stab everyone/everything so I taught them decapitate and exsanguinate

[Mark]

Otherwise, I'd say dingdong.

This guy gets it.

Fuck all of you educated people.

It’s all about the absurd and silly words for me. I don’t even bother keeping a count of how many times I call someone a “goofball” or a “ding dong” in a given day. Profanity doesn’t hurt people these days. Call someone a goofball for road raging and watch the soul leave their eyes because they’re not even worth aggressive language from you.

goober

 

[Mark]

goober

See? How’d you feel typing that?

 

[Smacktard]

In that same vein, I like calling people "Dingus". It's just goofy enough to be inoffensive

That, and “goober” are ones my girlfriend uses, and I’m not trying to step on toes. Gotta have my own vocabulary.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Not as good as typing "hornswoggle."

Edit: Jabroni

 

[Jawneh]

I imagine calling someone a porthole would be satisfying.

No idea if it has some alternative meaning. It just popped into my mind.

 

[Smacktard]

Dongus is good, too.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I call my kids goobers like 200 times a day to stop myself from saying "stupid little bastards"

I'm a good dad

 

[Nae'blis]

 

[dimmerwit]

Kwyjibo is good.

Apparently it's a big dumb balding American ape with no chin and a short temper.

 

[Mark]

I know a few of those.

It’s a perfectly cromulent word

 

[Crystal]

It’s a perfectly cromulent word

A word so scrumtralescent I can barely move.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

that sounds scrumdiddlyumptious

 

[Kat]

Oh, we're all wrong.

I was told by a second grader that "first" is the worst and "second" is the best.

And also that "third" is the one with the hairy chest.

Uh oh. I wondered why I started growing all that chest hair after placing third in a contest.

I was made to take French as a kid, and I remember there was a word I really liked that meant something like a person who was friendly, kind, and a pleasure to be around. The word itself was even pleasant to say. I forgot the actual word itself though. Maybe we have a French speaker here who knows which word I'm referring to?

The word isn't "French", that's for sure!

Maybe "sympathique" or "aimable" or something. I know a bit of French but it's hard to think of those words, especially one a young person would use. My skills are mostly in reading.

Probably "joli(e)"

 

[Kat]

Hmm, I don't think it was any of those. I might have the definition off by a bit, it was a long time ago. It wasn't close to an English word though.

 

[Jawneh]

Schadenfreude is another classic. A lot of it thanks to its meaning for sure.

 

[Smacktard]

*Cracks fingers*
Chouette (cool)
Amicable (agreeable/friendly)
Paisable (pleasant/peaceful)
Gentille (nice)
Tranquille (peaceful)

Any of those? I'm drawing blanks on what else it could be.

That used to be my favorite word but then it went too mainstream.

I like underground words. More clandestine words. Like surreptitious.
