#59. One more EPIPHANY this week just might shut my brain off.
Heheheh.
The word epiphany was #59 on Bad Writer's extensive list of the most beautiful words in the English language, back in January of 2009. I found quite a few of my personal favorites there, and I decided to use them in sentences for you rather than grocery-list them. Grocery lists are boring, after all.
So... here we go, in numerical order:
#1. Oh my, yes, I was quite adroit, about a century ago.
#5. His nose reminds me of a rather distinctive amaryllis.
#11. Your skill to beleaguer is amazing to behold, kind sir.
#20. "You clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk!" (sayeth the Wizard of Oz to the Tin Man)
#45. That diaphanous ensemble you're wearing isn't doing you any favors.
#51. "Elixir of Egypt, make up my mind fer me. I'm waitin' fer the answer!" (Laurey, "Oklahoma!")
#99. "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas... only a hippopotamus will do!" (from the holiday song of the same name)
#130. Show me a romantic hero from the 80s without luxuriant hair, and I'll show you a writer on crack.
#144. Your plot is so nebulous, I can't even show you the places I got confused.
#194. Being blown to smithereens has been known to be life-altering.
#200. You know darn well you're eating my fries, you surreptitious bastard.
#218. Wow, that last critique destroyed any vestige of self esteem I had left.
Do you have favorites on Bad Writer's list? I would love to hear them.
[ *Dynastic side note: "Apoplectic" and "willy-nilly" didn't make the cut...! What is up with that? My two very favorite words in the entire language were simply left by the wayside? *falls into an apoplectic fit* ]
