The D list has met with an accident and is no longer in existence.
E F G today
- Epigrammatic
- Enigma
- Epitaph (mine! Cos of our old Newsletter, The Epitaph, which was in turn because of DPS)
- Epidermal (what?! UGH)
- Enervating (definitely not mine. I would never use such an annoying word)
- Elixir (bleah)
- Egotist (think I prefer it without the t)
- Esquire (huh)
- Esoteric (mine!)
- Eminent (i dun like it. snobby word)
- Emu (See? I said there were no animal names that were any good)
- Erratic
- Enduring (this is the only form of this word that i like. endure has too much of a suffering tone and endurance sounds like sports. enduring makes me think of enduring love, enduring monuments...)
- Epoch (there's something v wrong with this word. it doesn't sound like what it means. it sounds too frivolous. it ought to sound grander.)
- Emollient (hah. first epidermal then emollient. clearly came off a face cream bottle.)
- Entourage (i think this word is on the list for the associations of fame and glamour rather than for its own merit)
- Exacting (oh i like this!)
- fluke (heh. i wonder how this word came about)
- fallow (i can never like this word again after geog)
- fester (lilies that fester? fester sounds and spells like a nice word, but it doesn't mean anything good alas)
- farthing
- frugal (not that i am, and it isn't nice to say, though it looks right. whenever i see this word i see an old man hunched over a table)
- flourish
- fluctuating
- flourescent
- fruition (ugh. nobody ever says this word in any good connection. and it makes me think of estee lauder eye creams)
- fracas (oh! fracas is good!)
- folly
- fallacious
- frenzy
- futility
- fraught
- flamboyant
- fugitive (poor Aeneas)
- functional
- fritter (goreng pisang - maybe i was hungry)
- ferocious
- fradulent (another one that sounds so good but means nothing good)
- fascinate
- fable (ooh)
- fuzzy
- flamingo (that's not a bad animal name but they look so darn ridiculous)
- foothold (oh! that's a nice word! jie zhu xian deng!)
- fictitious (mm)
- fluvial (probably mine though it sounds good is all)
- gesticulation (yuk)
- gothic
- grotesque
- grievous (mine i think)
- gusto
- gizzard (aha. i'll slit you from your guggle to your zatch, said the duke)
- gregarious
- gaunt (oooh lovely)
- grasshopper (poor tithonus. though it isn't my word.)
- grave (the quality not the burial spot)
- geyser (yucks. nouns are never much good. the best words in the language are verbs and adjectives)
- gargoyle
- gloat
- gaudy
- garland (i take it back. garland is a beautiful word)
- gracious (somehow gracious and garland seems to go together. was it in daphne and apollo?)
- gondola
- gryphon (i like this spelling much better than griffin)
- goblet (i dun think i can possibly like this word again after von defined "turkey giblet" as "a small cup brimming with turkey"
- gaucho (i have a bad feeling this is mine. duncan and clotilda)
- glib
