Can't really picture most of these coming up in conversation, either, but they're definitely interesting!

Demy...? The soup was no problem. I'm glad you're feeling better!

yarichinusagi January 23 2009, 14:17:06 UTC

Well, you could always trick somebody into eating a tomalley - sounds close to tamale, doesn't it?

And there's always a good use for tosspot.

Honestly, I think this batch of words is more useful than the last one was!

not_fish January 23 2009, 14:19:16 UTC

Yeah, I guess so--I definitely wish I'd known "tosspot" back at home...

That's true, but your last bunch were really useless, so it's not saying much.

yarichinusagi January 23 2009, 14:20:30 UTC

Oh, but they're fun!

Don't make me go into all the ones I've been avoiding.

Yay for random words.

I particularly like the word trichotillomania that you have there. It's definitely interesting to say.

Oh, I should probably introduce myself considering I don't know you and you, well, don't know me.

I'm Alice :D
Nice to meet you.

Hi Lavi.

More words! Hmm...I don't think I'll be using tomalley any time soon, but timeserver is very interesting. I can think of a few characters in books that title would fit perfectly...and trugabelly too...

On a 't' theme?

yarichinusagi January 24 2009, 03:18:16 UTC

I've been going backwards through the book. The Ts just have a lot more words that wouldn't necessarily traumatize the majority of people~

Tomalley! Ewwwww. I really love lobster though.

yarichinusagi January 24 2009, 19:01:26 UTC

Yeah, I'm not really fond of eating the toxin filter of any animal, to tell the truth.

Lobster is good, though.

1059isok January 25 2009, 05:24:50 UTC

That sounds like a pretty reasonable preference to have. :]

Seafood is the greatest.
