Your Top Twenty Words – Blog Club
Last weekend, challenged by my Blog master to go Blog elsewhere, I, in a roundabout way, found myself on Friends Reunited.
It has been six years since I first registered. I was amazed at the upgrades. In addition to finding an old colleague that I had lost touch with for 10 years, (we have emailed twice now) I found a couple of secondary school friends, added two names to the “do you know this person” list, emailed a girl who I don’t know but who lived in the same flat as I in the same year, in Worthing, and learnt how to upload photographs.
However, here I am at the point to this Blog! In the profile FR asks you to list your top twenty words.
Well, being a wordsmith I got stuck in – and then I thought how common and superficial they were so scrubbed them out.
I have listed another top twenty here to get your view point.
My top twenty words:
1. Surreptitious
2. Elf
3. Panegyric
4. Martians
5. Sea
6. Geldolf
7. Soup
8. Cummonangetaff
9. Play
10. Jigsaw
11. Study
12. Action
13. Share
14. Values
15. Tap
16. Zapp!
17. Herb
18. Bowie
19. Snow
20. Farce
These are all words that stimulate my creative thinking. A process that I have to work at big time! Tell me what are your top ten (twenty I have decided is too many) and why? Whilst you consider these and your own key words here’s a little light entertainment!

Hi Laura
I’ve had a few go’s at this. It got me a little concerned that they could be analysed and you’d get to see something deep and meaningful by the use of certain words….and then I thought….to hell with it…just go with the flow:
1: Tenacious
2: Sensual
3: Vibrant
4: Faith
5: Velvet
6: Marinate
7: Love
8: Darth
9: Passionate
10: Tranquil

Nice lists – what/who is darth? Do you mean dearth? And cummonangetaff? My reading could be improved….
Isn’t it a shame if a main purpose of words these days is reveal our subconscious! Too much visual emphasis in the world? Perhaps poetry is the medium to remind us about choice of words and videos should have option to run words over the screen at the same time.

Darth is the name of my cat.
I named him after Darth Vader (Star Wars), and he’s dead cool!!!
