I like Paladin, Rosey. Only when you capitalize it like I just did, it looks like a name…:P
September 22, 2015 at 3:44 pm #5828Totalitarian and despotic are better than tyrannical, or at least so I say. I especially like despotic or any of its variations.

September 22, 2015 at 7:19 pm #5833Ah… despotism. You’re right, Daeus. It’s so… intellectually cruel.
Another favorite is hoarfrost.
September 22, 2015 at 8:41 pm #5839Whoa! Ya’ll have added some awesome words to my vocabulary! I like them all, even the depressing and intellectually cruel ones. 🙂 Some of my favorite ones are more of the beautiful words that just sound, well beautiful… scrumptious, delicious, majestic, delightful. Ooo and the words that are something beautiful like moon and meadow and stream and paper. I just love the word paper. 🙂

September 22, 2015 at 9:15 pm #5841antipathy, wend – don’t really use wend unless trying to sound middle english.
“Whither wend(est?) thy way oh scoundrel for whom I feel the strongest antipathy?”
“Whither wend” – ah.

September 22, 2015 at 9:36 pm #5844Oooh “whither wend”!
Necture, sustenance, gravity (as in the gravity of the situation), foil, and sick-headache. All good.

September 22, 2015 at 10:05 pm #5847Oooh good on @Daeus! Has anyone heard of being cast into the serpentine? I’m sure I have but I can’t find a definition that would fit with that so I’m wondering if its real or not.

September 23, 2015 at 9:56 am #5849Balderdash. Rubbish.
September 23, 2015 at 12:46 pm #5854Oh and incision. And schism. And chasm.
September 23, 2015 at 3:14 pm #5857Writhe. And Defiance. Oh, and Glare…I probably overuse that. 🙂
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
September 23, 2015 at 7:09 pm #5870Oooh! I love writhe! Actually that probably comes right before citadel on my list. Another good one is snarl— and eon and amorphous and metamorphosis and morph and weepy. Narrow. Strait. Linear. Galactic. Frigid. Squirm. Honor. Humiliation. Anguish. Dizzy. Laughter. Lay (as in poem or song). Riddle. Rune. Glyph. Jagged. Icily. And… are you ready? The two most beautiful words in the world…
The End.
