I'm sure you've noticed by now that I have a thing for words. My favorite hobby is to create them, but I also have my conventional favorites. Lately I've been running with 'Swanky'. For my own amusement I've been trying to work it into conversations every chance I get. Not easy to do with such a dated word. "Yeah, I had a swanky good time last night at the grocery store" or "For the swank of me I can't figure out how to use this microwave." I make no sense, but who cares? I lurv it! Really, I mean don't you, too? Saaa-wankie. I don't know, there's something about the way it rolls off my tongue. It's super sassy, 1950's gangster style, shoot em up, Marilyn Monroe-ie sounding. Okay, maybe I'm a little crazy. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this, anyone else have favorite words?

Oh Lindy Darling, you and me both! lol I've been playing Scrabble w/ my BFF since high school (now we play on fb) and I would make up a word and the only way she'd let me use it was if I could use it in a sentence... needless to say, I got pretty good at making words up! Swanky... we must be related as I use that word too! lol Cups Up! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI make up a ton of words. :) Glad to hear you had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm visiting from the Tiggerific Hop and I must say, your blog is very swanky! Have a great one!
ReplyDeleteOC baby! Yes, I bet we're long lost sisters or something. I keep telling my parents that I must surely be adopted.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alleged Author, indeed my birthday was off the hook! :p
Lol, Cathy, thanks for the swanky compliment!
