Pea mentioned I needed to listen to her, but I passed for the mo'--and then she popped up in my life! :) So it goes. Any song recs from her? (No worries. I appreciate what you've shared, but the comment is spiffy, too. :D)
Oooooh. I may do that! The meme didn't specify where the person was getting their words from, but it feels like CHEATING to just come up with them myself, ya know?
I think it's actually harder to think up your own words sometimes. Plus, it's far more fun to try and work with a list that gives you a bit of a challenge, :)
When I try to think up my own prompts, I always get brainfreeze. Although sometimes opening the dictionary to a random page is kind of fun in it's own way, ;)
Some more words: defenestration, abderian, petrichor, quidnunc
I also like strikhedonia, but it depends on if you consider it a true word or not
It's much like thinking up examples in class. And I--I don't think I have a dictionary to open and POINT at things. Otherwise that could be fun, heh.
QUIDNUNC. I had considered naming my Twitter that ;) It's fitting! And hey, hey, hey, I know where you got petrichor from ;) Damnm, abderian is a good word, though I have two for A already. HMM. Perhaps I should edit the post to reflect what I got...
Hell yeah, I'm a linguist! Ergo, if you can use it--and this seems like a very useable word, mind you :)--then it's a word. Once it goes into practice, it's a word, even if it irritates people!
Words: zephyr, xylograph, yearn, wanderlust, vivid
If you want more, let me know, :)

It totally is .___. Exactly! Getting outside prompts makes you bend your mind more, ne?
