I – My Favourite Word
I’ve been browsing one of Oxford’s dictionaries. It makes a big front of “over 183,500 British and American words, phrases and meanings”, plus other cultural words. I’ve been mulling: what is my darling, dashing word? Besides the endearing meaning (e.g. Love, Baby, Babe, Money, Girl), I have loved words which choose the letters “L”, “R” and “S” (e.g. Relish, Lily, Silver, Riddle, Silk). But, when I really think of it, and my endless need to self-express, my dearest syllable is “I”.

ReplyDeleteBecause, Maxine, it would be arrogant to refer to myself, in speech, as NY rather than I ;-)
ReplyDeleteHuh, Lucci?
ReplyDeleteNo, Abena O, not selfishness; self-expression!

Throw in a couple more words that have the letters O, A, N and E and voila! you can spell my name, woo hoo. Oh minus the S of course.
ReplyDeleteYou're becoming a genius everywhere, KFC!
ReplyDeleteLol, Raine, that's a whole lot of letters!
ReplyDeletehmmm...hope it's only self-expression and has nothing to do with Abena's comment.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so, Nana F ;-)
