I love the word 'simultaneous' and the word 'button' and the word 'waft' makes me laugh - I'm sure I'll think of more when you all remind me.

There are other words that always sound rude to me like finger and wipe, doesn't matter what context they're used in. I'm just filthy minded

You haven't got far to look for a partner as they say regarding 'words'!

I love that word too. About three years ago I sat with my hubby and said that it felt a bit autumnal outside. He started really laughing at me and said I'd just made the word up! I had to show him a dictionary to prove it existed. He'll never live it down.

Aw, It's lovely tho'. In any respect - sad for those who love Summer or Winter - but Autumnal conjures up 'falling leaves, change of natural light/ smells of nature, falling leaves/clothes/fashion/ cooler weather after a long hot summer' OK, I'm being unrealistic on some of the descriptions.

As I said it's not a word that's often used now - we seem to have adopted words such as 'Autumn like'.

And I love, love, love the word "hamster". It sounds exactly what it is - small, cuddly, furry, fussy and busy!

And we say "summery" now instead of "vernal"

I prefer serendipitous. I like ripple too.

But that's probably because it reminds me of chocolate.

It used to jump out of its field and run riot in the Dartford Tunnel causing closures (there was only one tunnel at the time)
