Schnitzel
German for kind of noodle and it tickles my tongue to say it.
[schnitzelschnitzelschnitzel]
Thanks, @VS, for being #1 to part 2!
It is a fun word. Could easily be a dog. (schnauzer )
@VS
A Schnitzel is a fried thin piece of meat with a breadcrumb coating.
What you might have had in mind is “Spätzle”.
Fol-de-rol and fiddle dee dee and fiddley faddley foddle all the wishes in the world are poppy cock and twoddle.
Take your pick, the line is from a song in Disney Cinderella
Twang. It just sounds funny and you can actually hear it.
Ecstatic
Good to see you @lx102303!! Happy New Year!
bamboozle!
schlemiel schlimazel hasenpfeffer incorporated
@ragingloli thank you for that lesson, but schnitzel is just so much more fun to say than spatzle! :D
But Spätzle has an umlaut. And umlauts are awesome.
My word is “Umlaut”. Because, umlaut.
Consarn it, I can’t think of none.
Misogynic, which IMO is the less clunky version of misogynistic.
Lugubrious. Authors from the first half of the 20th century are are very insistent that I should know this word. And Henry Miller could dish out another fifty before breakfast.
duvets, davenports, disingenuous all good words.
floccinaucinihilipilification- The categorizing of something as worthless.
My word will be “Ahegao”.
sesquipedalophobia
The fear of long words.
hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia: an even longer word for the fear of long words
@Smitha I’ve been dying to use that word in a legitimate sentence.
@dxs It’s actually hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Just saying.
Actually, @ETpro, it isn’t.
You are confusing hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia with hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a word that I made up. It has the exact same meaning as hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, but hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is just coincidentally one p longer than hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, so that may be why you think I am mistaking hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia with hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, though less common, is my alternative to the synonym hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. I wish you well.
^^^ brain aneurism forthcoming, thanx @dxs. lol
Skambein. Which is Norwegian for pubic bone (literally shame-bone). It always pops out at me when I’m paging through my Norwegian-English dictionary. I like how somehow when you spend any sort of time with a dictionary you get familiar with certain entries just because you always seem to be flipping past them. I seem to see sneglesnart (snailspeed) an awful lot too.
Adenosine. That is the stuff that will be replaced by caffeine in my adenosine receptors, and the reason I will probably be awake all night.

@AshLeigh I was so awake that I could’ve gotten up if I wanted to. I wonder if I should’ve gotten up and taken another. My sleep schedule is all messed up now.
