Four Letter Words

Jan 05, 2011 11:46

I want to decorate my wall with a word. I'd love it to be smart or thoughtful. Initially I chose FREE, but that later felt a litle cheesy.

Here's an example of how it might look. It's a set of framed letters hanging in my little bathroom.

if I don't think of words as words, but letters that are visually pleasing in combination for whatever reason, I like FRAG, ETOH, SLOW, PUSH and TWAT, even though that's not really a nice word I suppose. I guess I like LOVE and DORK too. I like words, and capital letters, and this idea! I keep liking more words so I'll stop now.

Happy new year!

oh the context really changes the answer... well actually i still think my first reply would work, but that's just me...

LOVE or RISE would probably be my choices

on fb, i was thinking more about the words itself and the sound...
in this context i'd think more about the shapes, the letter. and the implied meaning(s)...the affect on my(your) subconscious

in this exercise i notices their aren't too many 4 letter words i like...
their are a hand full of 3 letter words like meh, and doh, and more 5 letter words spook, snark, slick, belie ... but very few 4 letter words.
of course most of the words i like are much, much longer...doldrums, ambivalent, ambulatory, harmony, discord, aesthetic, paramour, hyperbolic... etc

PISS of course ;>

also SURE and ZERO and RIFT, RISK...
more abstract: CURL, LOOP, LARK, LIST
more conceptual AWOL, LOOK, ONCE, SCAN
for its multiple connotations: HAIL
for it oldtinyness: HARK
for its obviousness: WALL

so far i'd be inclined to go with LOVE, LOOK, ZERO, ONCE or RISE in that order
