I love the words, percolate and marinate. I try to use them even when they aren''t necessary (or in correct usage).
For example, when trying to convince a friend to do something and they''re unsure, I would say, ''Well, maybe you should let that percolate for a while.''
For the way the word marinate is used in Ice Age 1. I would say, ''Hey, let''s go marinate in the jacuzzi for a a while.''
Even better: ''Hey, let''s go marinate in the jacuzzi and let our thoughts percolate for a while.''

I think my two favourite words would have to be ''defenestrate'' (I adore the fact that a word exists to convey the meaning ''to throw something out a window'') and ''fuselage'' (the body of a plane) just rolls around in my mouth in such a juicy, pleasant way.
(snip)
The word ''étouffée'' is great too--in cooking, it''s a Cajun sort of stew, but in the musical world (percussion specifically), it means ''dampened,'' as in muted sound. It''s shown up sometimes in my tympani music, and I just think it''s great.
Around here, that is known as feeling "champagne" or having a champagne tummy. Sounds chic, doesn''t it?Date: 7/4/2009 6:27:24 PM
