Possum - where I live we have brush tailed possums, not opossums. In my family, possum is an affectionate nickname that Mum always called my sisters and I when we were small, so the word has good connotations for me (although possums are considered pests, I never thought of that before ...).

Darling - I don’t think this word is used as much as it used to be, but it’s sweet. It means “dearly loved”, so I think it’s one of the best words for a spouse or child; it’s like “dear”, but twice as good.

Magpie - the warbling of magpies makes me feel like I’m home.

Marvellous - if you’ve spoken to me, you may have noticed that this is a word I use very frequently. This is simply because I believe that life is absolutely marvellous and everyone deserves to know that.

Little - just because :)

Knafeh- a name of a middle eastern dessert, consisting of tons of sugar, anglehair noodkes, a savory cheese, and more sugar. what could go wrong!

schadenfreude- the feeling you get when someone you know as a hypocrit is found out. it is not exactly gloating, not exactly triumph...something joyous.

Szardash (i believe it is pronounced schardesh)- a hungarian/ romanian folk dance. when i feel deoressed, i just make a Bela Logosi impression, saying in the best dracula pick up line ever: “common baby, everyone’s doing the szardash” or conversly the song ” sweet dreems are made of this..” where you inserr that line instead of the ‘everybody’ looking for something...

samosa- even if you ask someone who hasnt an idea what it means, he will tell you it must be s.t. good.

Sophia- the name of my daughter. i cant imagine a better name for a girl.

i would also like to take this opportunity and introduce a word: Platzrigging- the insane satisfaction you get by posting on a challange with much more words than the wordcount given. it is akin to the wild joy of using a surgical mask as a slingshot for paper balls as the winning technique at the office olympics.

1. Spontaneity

2. Espresso

3. Euphoria

4. Possession

5. Charcuterie

Extra words to make it lomng enough to post.

1. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (the fear of long words, I just love the irony)

2. Eviscerate (because it’s a beautiful word that describes a gory process)

3. Ichor (blood of the gods, because I’m obsessed with mythology)

4. Martyr (person who dies for a cause)

5. Coma (no idea why I like this word, maybe because there’s so much lore around what happens when you’re in a coma)
