Plinth. Flange. Onomatopoeia.
That and queue have four vowels in a row. Any others? Five?
My favourite word is "snood".
is stereotypography anything like Stereotomy??
All you people who don't share my personal preference for which is the best word are wrong and can kiss my ass. My personally-preferred word is better than yours. And that's final.
Library nerds and etymology. So much fun.
Prang. It's a car wreck in England. Also I'm quite fond of one of the words in Japanese for snake. Most say Hebi but an older way is Kuchinawa, which means rope with a mouth.
Nematode. Come at me , bro.
I am partial to "gudgeon," the socket parts of a hinge, particularly because the piece that goes through the gudgeons, holding the hinge together, is the pintle, which means penis. It just figures that is what a bunch of carpenters would call it.
Cellar door
I always liked 'flensing knife'. Without looking it up you can pretty much guess it has a very specific (and graphic) purpose.

The best word is 'chunder'. It's Australian though, so you need to pronounce it non-rhotically to get the full effect.

Jeph, you're basically just planning strip after strip of a stoned Claire and Tai being random, aren't you? Is Tai's hand just coincidentally behind Claire's head or is she trying to keep her on the couch by way of grabbing the back of her vest?
A good buzz converts any furniture covering into a superfluid. Or maybe it does that to the one intoxicated. I'm not sure. More experimentation required!
Flong is pretty decent, but the best-sounding english word is actually syphilis.
nope, definitely supercilious
NO JSTORING WHILE HIGH!
I hear they're implementing a custom captcha - single question: "how many unicorns are there in the room?" Any non-zero answer and it blocks you for a day :)
Claire appears to have reached the Oozing-Out-of-Your-Chair phase of being stoned....
Spatchcock -- to cut open a chicken in a method similar to butterflying, to flatten it out for grilling.
The best word in Mandarin is probably "shi" <a href="https://theslittyeye.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/only-in-chinese-shi-shi-shi-shi-sh%C7%90/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://theslittyeye.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/only-in-chinese-shi-shi-shi-shi-sh%C7%90/</a>
You are all utterly wrong. The best word ever is "corgi".
With respect, I must disagree with you. I believe that "kitten" beats "corgi".
Claire slowly sliding onto the floor is something i feel on a spiritual level
She's actually melting and doesn't know it yet
The greatest word ever invented is kääntäjä
Flong! It follows that a human who so perfectly corresponds to a stereotype as to reinforce and perpetuate it is that stereotype's flong.
I don't think you can hold people accountable when they live up to a stereotype. When white people talk about black people liking fried chicken for example, they're dehumanizing black people. But when an individual black person likes fried chicken, he's just living his life, trying to enjoy what's pleasing to his taste buds without white people getting on his case about it.
As a proud owner of a dord Webster's 2nd, I salute you.
I'm jealous. I have a Webster's Third and an OED, and neither has a dord :-(
And the most self referential word of all: Definiendum - the word being defined in a dictionary entry.
Ooh. A useful Scrabble word as well.
Hystricine - pertaining to porcupines!
It’s no “feamyng” either
Meanwhile, at dictionary.com: "Why the Hell is 'flong' trending?"
I typed 'flo' into Google and 'flong' was literally the third thing offered. I'm guessing Google knows I read QC, and saw a bunch of other QC readers asking the same thing.
I'd vote 睡觉(sleep) as the greatest mandarin word.
How is it pronounced?
What's jstor?
Library reference tool for searching journals. Now that I think of it, I don't recall seeing it advertised in libraries that weren't in a university
