Melancholy. It just sounds so nice. It rolls off the tongue so well and it’s just a beautiful word.
Immanentize the eschaton. :)
Not necessarily words, but a simple phrase: “I like you.”
I think people should say that to each other more.

Thank you. It’s important to tell the people you like that you like them.
I’m the sort of weirdo who uses all kinds of stilted vocabulary in not-terribly-formal situation. Just a few words that I use regularly that I remember getting shit for using:
- Ostensibly
- Indeed
- Escarpment
- Thrice
I do use “chagrin” not infrequently. I can’t think of a time when I’ve used the word “reify”, but it feels like the sort of word I’d use.
I use ostensibly a lot lately. Seems like an appropriate word for our times.
I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?
Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word “cliff”. Heh.
The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the “like a sir” rage faces. Lol.
That was probably… 3 years ago? I’m sure I’ve used it at least a few times since then, but I can’t remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.
Pfftt… “Aforementioned.” Well la-di-da.
Heretic. Something about that word feels very relevant in modern society…

Overmorrow. No more of this “the day after tomorrow” nonsense.
And by extension, words like overWednesday, for the second Wednesday from now. Or overweek and overmonth.
