Words

I love the English language, I'm also fascinated by other parts of the world and the way they speak. Their different accents, different slang words, and even sometimes a different language all together. I have to say, that my favourite foreign word is schadenfreude (although thats probably more down to my sense of humor than the sound of it). That word is coming from the country who's word for nipple translates as chest-wart...

  I love the great names we have (Boris, Jeeves etc.), but the thing I love the most in the Wide world of words is..... (drum roll needed) the great words we have. I know how obvious that sounds, but no-one can say that words like jingle, numpty, Discombobulate don't make you smile.

So, here is my favourite words and names that would make even Eyore smile.....
