I have to say that my favorite word is defenestrate~

I doubt I'll ever use it in writing, but it's a truly beautiful word~

Write a historical story set during the Second Defenestration of Prague. I’d read that.

Actually i do like catharsis a lot. Generally anything with a C and a TH sound.

 

[AliceShiki]

Write a historical story set during the Second Defenestration of Prague. I’d read that.

I'm absolutely astonished by the fact that those are real events, and not something you made up on the spot (I just googled it).

I only write medi-fantasy stuff though, so... Well, sadly not something that would work for me, but... Hey, the idea is there in case anyone wants to! make this! xD

schadenfreude. It's just the german word but there seems to be no real equal to it in any other language.

though. I use it waaay too much. It fits, though.

most words starting with con-. Contrast, conviction, convenience, condom... no, not that one. That never feels real for some reason.

My favourite word is poignant. If I had to explain it, it's the feeling of getting your heart pierced by something beautiful, metaphorically.

i always liked the sound of prognostication. Defenestrate is also an awesome one, especially when used in it's original meaning. Like, how many people were thrown out of windows before someone came up with a word specifically to describe the act?

EDIT: Actually went and looked up the history. it roots from 2 events 200 years apart in Bohemia which both were the catalysts for wars. the event which coined the term specifically was the 1618 Defenstration of Prague which eventually led to the 30 Years War.
Fun fact: All of those chucked out the window survived the 70 foot fall and one of them was later titled Baron of Highfall (yes, that was literally his title)
