    For some unexplained reason, I enjoy the word loaf.

    Decerebrate.

    When used as an adjective, it means, "lacking intelligence or reason".

    It'd also serve as a good alternative to 'dumbing down'? I thought of another one yesterday whilst out walking (I do all my thinking when I'm out walking! :mrgreen: ) 'propinquity'? I also like 'ethereal'

    Works for me too - I let one er, accidentally slip out now and again!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Actually I can't bear the word 'enjoy' - probably because there's no alternative for it. I get crankier by the day!

    I confidently predict someone will now post 'I enjoy the word 'enjoy'. :eyepopping:

    Was it in Donnie Darko that they mentioned "cellardoor"?

    In my ears a very dull and disgusting word.

    I love the Yiddish word for the relationship between in-laws: Machatunim.

    There is no English equivalent. In fact there may be no equivalent in any other language.
