I'm not interested in NFTs, but I've been obsessed with the word "fungible" ever since I first heard it 😅

I’m still thinking of my favourite words, but I know I hate the word “bucks” - referring to dollars. (I know you didn’t ask for words we hate)

Yes, of course, it goes without saying that I hate vulgar words. Don’t get me started on the casual use of those words!
I was just thinking of non-offensive words that bother me. But I’ll try to focus on more pleasant words.
I really like quaint, old-fashioned ways to say something ordinary, such as “not my cup of tea” instead of “dislike”, or “behold!” instead of “look!”. I don’t use these quaint terms myself, but I love hearing them when others do. Oh, and I like the word “quaint”.

I like napkin, merde, and pilikia.
lots of Hawaiian words are so beautiful. My last cat was named Polonoo LooLoo Belle. Polonoo meaning big and magnificent (she was a Maine Coon). Plus, it had 8 o’s in it. 😂

I just heard one today you might like that replaces "obviously": if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his rump when he jumps. Try saying that 3 times fast! (Along with Irish Wristwatch, which my friends and I try to get drunk folks at the local bar to say, since it is a tongue twister).

The only Fleur I like is that crazy lady from Patrick Melrose. I adored her!
I called my LooLoo LooLoo, lol. She was a rescue and possibly the most traumatized cat I’ve ever owned. She was a gorgeous and enormous long haired calico with maybe 1 brain cell. She had been terrorized in her litterbox repeatedly by the family dog of whoever had owned her before me and wouldn’t go near one. I had 4 litter boxes for her in a very quiet part of the house and she still preferred to pee on the rug just outside the box.
I kept thinking she would eventually recover if I was quiet and gentle with her (she’d take off running if I even sneezed too loud) but she never did, which made me sad b/c she really was the sweetest creature I ever met. Just so gentle. She didn’t live very long, just to the age of 10 when she died of leukemia, so I had her about 7 years. I still wish I’d been able to do more for her.
But then I got my Binky who’s a mountain of sass and still going strong at 14. 🥰

It makes me so angry the way some people treat other, helpless creatures! My dad was always on me to get rid of her since she ruined my carpets but frankly, I didn’t care. Carpets are replaceable, family isn’t. I even asked him at one point if he would have gotten rid of me if I had problems. He shut up after that, but he was from the generation where you take your autistic or brain damaged child and put them in an institution, away from “polite” society. So backwards and heartless,
I’m glad your kitties had you to help them, too. It’s a god-given trust, I think, to care for those creatures who need it.
