"Germane" instead of relevant.

Incidentally

>>1980066
In my experience many people dislike that word. But it's so fun to say. The last syllable ends so crisply. It's juicy.

I'm glad you agree. There's something about the fancy words for 'on fire' or its metaphorical connotations that really pushes my buttons.

>> No.1980441

Dastardly, quandary, catharsis, feeble.
I love the word feeble.
Oh, and the word utterly.

His dastardly quandary had at last brought him a sense of catharsis, but even that was utterly feeble.

Oh god yes. I'd forgotten about that one. I don't know if I like it as much as 'ardent' and 'empyrean' but it's definitely up there.

I'm also fond of the adjectives that end in 'ine':

Byzantine
Serpentine

There are only two, as far as I know, but I cherish them dearly.

I also like seeing words on large, old buildings that use V's as U's.

BVILDING. Mmmm.

>> No.1980958

"inure"
"enure"

I also like MANY of the words which have already been posted. I think most people find these words, in the mention sense, quite enjoyable.

Also, "arithmoquintify."
