Clif's Notes

Good Words #4

As I’ve previously shared (Good Words 1, 2 and 3) “I really like words. I even have a habit of interrupting friends by declaring “Ooh, good word!” when they use a term that tickles my ears.” Here are a few more words that I’ve come across that I think merit being on my list of good words.

• cantankerous
• colloquialism
• debonair
• derelict
• ergo
• galoshes
• hiatus
• hyperbole (Thanks, Elaine.)
• irksome
• rotund
• suave

Here are some words that you left in the comments section of previous Good Words posts that I especially enjoyed. Thanks for reminding me of these good words.
