Watching Big Brother, I am appalled at many of the housemates' propensity for reducing the entire spectrum of human emotions to just two words:
They are either feeling:
"wicked"
or:
"gutted".
And that's it. It's gotten to the point where I feel physically sick every time I hear one of them say "gutted".
There are so many other words to choose from. Words are great! Use them! Learn a new one every day!
I'll start you off. Here's one: <b>tripsolagnia</b>. That's sexual arousal from having one's hair shampooed.
Please leave your favourite English words in the comments box. Nothing fictional. And not "elbow" either, because, yes, I too have seen <i>The Singing Detective</i>. Or "serendipity", because that topped a recent national "favourite words" poll, and is therefore disqualified.
