I prefer to use less common words, simply because I enjoy them.  

I just wish I could find a suitable use for "defenestrate."

[Faith]

*Laugh!!!*  
I'd have to know less common words to use them.

Actually, I just used piquant...
But that's actually not that uncommom.
('Bout as uncommom as poignant...)  

After I looked up the word:
*Laugh!!!*   !   !   !

Well... you could make a suggestion to defenestration next time somebody's angry at someone/something.  
Right?

Defenestrate is an awesome word, but I, too, haven't really found a good use for it in common language.  I have occasionally threatened to defenestrate someone online, but for obvious reasons, it hasn't happened.  

[Faith]

I think that is now among my favorite words, actually.
Why did I not hear about this before!?! They've been teaching us simple vocabulary at school, and they could be teaching us how to use words like defenestrate!

Do ya'll have favorite words?

[Fox]

I do!

It is "sploot". Which..really isn't a real word..just used in comics. XD As far as real words go..probably "poof" or "garrulous". I guess I just like garrulous 'cause..that's pretty much what I do all the time. XD

[Faith]

*laugh!!!*

What do comics use that word for?

I think I'm like that, too...  

[Fox]

For food effects.

I spent 40 minutes going through my Garfield books looking for that one..but of all the ones I have, it had to be in the one I can't find. T_T

[Dragyn]

"Splut" is more common in Garfield, though, what with "Splut Week" and all.

[Fox]

Yeah. "Splut" & "splot". Nothing beats "sploot", though. ^_^

[Faith]

Heh...
My friends and I used to use, "Splugget!" in elementary, when we helped the lunch lady serve meals.  
One of my friends just said, one day, "Would you like sound effects with your food?"
She started it...    

Do all elementary schools do that?
(Let kids help serve lunch, that is.)

[Fox]

I wouldn't know. I've homeschooled since third grade, and the schools I went to before that didn't really have cafeterias.

[arcblade]

"Wark"
"hrrrsk"
"eep"
"defenestrate"
and "mrow?"

By the way, I found an excellent use for Defenestrate.  It needs to be the past tense, but...

A revolution
an unpopular monarch
defenestrated

-------
behold, a haiku.

[Dragyn]

Indeed.  Nice haiku.

Exalted for that one.  Defenestrated monarchy...

[Faith]

*Laugh!!!*  

So now people are making haikus...  

I think it'd be neat to be homeschooled...

Did ya'll that were home schooled here (if anyone else here was and are not bothered by talking about it) like it?

[Fox]

I like the word haiku, too. XD

Oh, I love homeschool. I go at my own pace, no homework, I get to sleep later, and best of all..I don't think I've been sick since I started it, unless my cousin brought it home.
