Oh, I can never come up with 10 on the spur of the moment, but #1 is always kerfuffle – such an amusing word! Let’s see, what others have I used lately that people have commented on?
2. discombobulated
3. amalgamate
If we’re talking about meaning, rather than just the feel of the word on our tongues, I’ll add
4. grace
5. babies (happy ones!)
6. books
7. music
Okay, I said I couldn’t get to 10, so I’ll quit! Nattie probably had trouble narrowing it down to 10, such a wordsmith, she was. Oh, that could be #8 – wordsmith.
