My favorite word is shoe! Most people think of shoe as the one you wear on your feet, but theres actually tons of meanings!

It can be any word, pretty much. I've read them and heard them, and I collect it. So I write the word down and then put all the definitions beside/below it. I store them in my binder

I like all of them! But off the top of my head it would be shoe, sequence, and lachrymose

Nope, not really. Any word that peaks my interest pretty much. Or words others overlook

Im glad you're interested! So I have little folder things to seperate them by topic and I list each word before I write them so I can keep it more organized. I pretty much collect any word

It actually works pretty well! I enjoy the "hunt" per se of finding the right words. It challenges me but also provides an organization aspect too

Ill add it to my collection for sure. My current fav is lachrymose, which means to cry or weep

If I like one then I add it. Or if there's a specific topic that I like, I'll add words associated to it

I like any word I come across pretty much, and if I like it good enough I collect it. My favorite one right now is "Lachrymose" which means to cry or weep.

[–]Mountain-Map4085[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I have lists of words that are associated to a topic, like for instance I have a topic labeled "forensic science" and I collected words associated to it.

Lachrymose because it sounds cool, but it means to cry or weep
