Yes, it means I’ve been writing. And words have been floating in a bubble above my head, circling me like bees on a lazy hot summer’s day. Here are the top 5 in each category:

Words I Like
Fall – as in the season, what North Americans call autumn
Autumnal – the adjective of what the rest of us call fall
Vitriol – for it sounds as strong as what it means
Sentiments – has a romantic flair
Arse – I love pronouncing it, writing it, grabbing it…
Gorgeous – need I explain?

Words I Don’t Like
Toe/toes – blech, and not just because I dislike feet
Baby – call me ‘baby’ and I’ll rip your bollocks off (see below).
Ma’am – reserve that word for the military else you’ve told me I’m 100+ years old.
Connoisseur - an English word with Latin origins that sounds French but appears bastardised by having an oi instead of ai.
Incredulous – sounds a bit pretentious
Awesome – a highly overused word on its own, even by me

Words That Make Me Giggle
Bollocks – when said as an interjection, perfect with a British accent.
Ass – as pronounced by North Americans as Opposed to the word ‘arse’
Bosom – anyone familiar with that Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders writes Homer a letter would understand
Brouhaha – try saying it without laughing
Z – when pronounced Zee by North Americans as opposed to Zed for the rest of us.

Now tell me yours.
