Lists of words to slip into conversations.

[daveyboy]

A log time ago we had a list of words that we needed to slip into our conversations. I'm sure we got these off the web somewhere...... I also have a feeling there were three columns and had to make a sentence with a word from each column......... ?

 

Anyone got anything like this ? - I'm just looking to brighten up the day.....

 

Ta muchly...............

Any particular context?

Gobbledegook and Moist are my favourite two.

Smorgasbord is one of my fav words that i try to get into conversations as often as i can.

Discombobulated is generally a humorous entry! ^_^

@DaveP - Almost - I seem to remember lots of technical words though.....

I think I do also. I will keep looking.

Ecumenical, I have only managed it once or twice!

Omnishambles, another great one!

As in "That would be an ecumenical matter"?

Of course!

We're all Father Ted fans here and ecumenical is used quite frequently.

 

Teacher: Why does the new computer look different to the old one?

We in IT: That would be an ecumenical matter.

 

One chap I worked with used to come out with some rippers which I'd love to drop into conversations here in college.

 

If something was blindingly obvious, rather than "No s**t Sherlock" he'd say "Does the Pope wear a funny hat? Are the Kennedy's gun shy?"

As an exclamation of surprise "Well bugger me with the bell end of a ragman's trumpet!"

This is where "the viz profanisaurus" can come in handy

Found another, although not technical terms, and two columns rather than three.

Slightly related - anyone see Chris Packham squeeze song titles into Springwatch while presenting? I think there's some YouTube vids knocking about of it. I think he did the manics and the Smiths.

I did wonder how long it would take for the Mugwump Foreign Secretary to turn up.
