favo(u)rite words


i miss the english english language. all those extra U's (favourite, colour) and consonants (programme, travelling), not to mention a few of my faves:  

- nutter (as in nutcase or nutjob)
- shambolic (in shambles)
- ticketyboo (all set)
- dodgy (shady mc shady)
- skip (dumpster)
- bespoke (custom made)
- satsuma (we'd just call them oranges, even tho they're not)
- arsed (bothered)
- wonky (wobbly)

i like that you put arsed (bothered)...when in fact i'd never heard of "can't be bothered" as such a casual expression itself.

you know what this means...you were on the inside looking out. (pandora)
