The thing I love doing most, besides asking people how they have been, is eating up words. It goes like this. You mouth something untoward, for no apparent reason and then plead guilty. Then you start eating up your words. It’s quite filling, by the way. The words I love to eat personally are Irony, Ridiculous, Matrimony, Nonsense, Oxymoron, Idleness, Hunky Dory and Maniac. It’s very filling and satisfying, I tell you. Satisfying is the word that I find hard to digest. Though I use it very often, but chances are I am lying. Another word I have developed a special liking to is Yeah, with more stress on Y and then you say ah! Sounds very chic one must admit and comes pretty handy. If you’re in those moods when you’re not particularly inclined to have a conversation or you don’t really know what to say, you say Yeah. That’s it, just a four letter word but enough to wrap up a conversation or get it going. Something like, if you happen to bump into a science geek in a social party and he happens to ask you if you’ve heard about the Star that’ll be the cause of World War III (apparently because it would come to US knowledge that Osama is hiding there) you can get away by saying Yeah. That should stop the bloody blighter from approaching you for another billion light years. Not bad considering the effort. Again there’re some words which I find very easy to spell but utterly tough to pronounce. Film is one such word. The L inevitably comes before I. Then there are some that simply refuse to leave the mouth. They just hang their laconically, as if some sightseeing happening inside the mouth and end there. Take eccentricity for one. Though not the least embarrassed to remind people of it’s presence in high society parties, it surprisingly acts pricey when you want to voice it.
