phonetics, sonorants and fricatives are lovely, impressive words.
Fricatives gave me a small orgasm.
Orgasm is a disturbing word. it feels better than it sounds, but that’s not really a fair fight, is it.
Orgasm sounds like what it is. It packs an explosive munch and is over to soon.
“orrrrrRRRR…” and then “GASMMmmm…!”
I remember reading about an orgasm when I was young and I was terrified about having one.
I was worried I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Kind of like fear of taking acid for the first time.
But I can handle it, all too well, it turns out.
I am self employed and work at home, but I have to work at Starbucks, so as not to get into “trouble.”
without starbucks i’d never get anything done.
starbucks is a great word.
btw, I get paid to write things that are crisp, relevant and disciplined. lately i ghostwrite a shit-ton.
I have never written the word shit-ton, and I don’t ever say it. not sure about the hyphen. that uncertainty argues well for not using the word again.
but saying ton just seems so tired.
It’s soooooo relaxing to just riff like this, not having to worry whether it’s good.
