Twenty-Something Tuesday
While English is widely recognized as one of the most ridiculous and contradictory languages of all time ever, some words (many of which we obviously borrowed from other cultures) are particularly satisfying. Here are the 20 best words we at Literally, Darling could come up with.
-
Allele – write it in cursive and you’ll see.
-
Persnickety – It has a somewhat negative connotation, but just saying the word makes us smile.
-
Charming – Charming is a charming word, it’s like liquid gold in word form.
-
Bubbly – Even saying “bubbly” makes you feel bubbly and excited.
-
Claptrap – Simply because it’s fun to say.
-
Magic – Magic is just so magical, it’s a really evocative word.
-
Effervescent – Bright, happy, effervescent is just like its definition and another good word to write in cursive.
-
Spectre – Slightly creepy and spooky but deeper than say, “ghost.”
-
Incorporeal – Again, a tiny bit creepy but it gives you the sense of bordering on another spirit world.
-
Cafe – While it’s a French word, not English, cafe is just the perfect word for an eating place. Who wouldn’t want to go eat at cafe?
-
Vorpal – Not technically a real word except according to Lewis Carroll, it still sends shivers up your spine.
-
Lightning – It’s a sharp, jagged word that perfectly summons visions of lightning to mind.
-
Sea – It’s simple, it’s sweet and it sounds so much nicer than “ocean.” It’s a much more romantic, fairy tale type of word.
-
Autumn – Why do people use “fall” when they have a word like “autumn?” I don’t understand.
-
Clever – Reminiscent of Hermione Granger, “clever” is more than just intelligent it means you also know how to use it.
-
Crikey – needs to be brought to American vernacular ASAP.
-
Strumpet – It’s the best way to insult/confuse someone.
-
Fisticuffs – Cause I’ve always wanted to have a legitimate reason to use it.
-
Anthropomorphic – It’s a one word we use all the time, even incorrectly, because we love the way it sounds.
-
Fuck – There, we said it. It’s so versatile, in all its forms, and while it can perhaps be overused, it’s expressive and satisfying as hell.

We often see things in our life that later teach us a great lessons and make us do the right things. There are events in a life that changes the future completely and make a lot of differences. Why we always consider the words by elders very seriously because they has a lot of experience that they usually share with us in some words of wisdom. These words contain deep meanings inside them and are to be listened carefully. These words are handy and if we have cluster of such words than we can make a whole code of life from them.
Many psychologists suggest that a person should stay in touch with some good books because the books are there for helping us in the difficult situations. The philosophers always speak of the hidden things and speak in a way that we have to find the hidden meanings in their speech. With all the efforts we do to succeed in life, if we attach those efforts with the words of wisdom then we can achieve the desired thing more comfortably. These words actually tells us the truths about the behavior of life and how we can succeed in understanding the behavior of life.
These words are not any magical words, they come from the experiences of our elders lives. The mistakes they made in their lives lead them to the disappointments and then they do not want their children to repeat the same mistakes so they make the whole code of life o better you can say a whole book of rules for life so that they can teach us with the help of words of wisdom. They do this because they want us to stay focused on our path and do not get distracted in the process of achieving the goal of life.
A big thanks to tumblr for these inspirational words.
