100 Beautiful and Ugly Words

by Mark Nichol

One of the many fascinating features of our language is how often words with pleasant associations are also quite pleasing on the tongue and even to the eye, and how many words, by contrast, acoustically and visually corroborate their disagreeable nature — look no further than the heading for this post.
Enrich the poetry of your prose by applying words that provide precise connotation while also evoking emotional responses

Ugly Words

Cacophony: confused noise

Cataclysm: flood, catastrophe, upheaval

Chafe: irritate, abrade

Coarse: common, crude, rough, harsh

Cynical: distrustful, self-interested

Decrepit: worn-out, run-down

Notice how often attractive words present themselves to define other beautiful ones, and note also how many of them are interrelated, and what kind of sensations, impressions, and emotions they have in common. Also, try enunciating beautiful words as if they were ugly, or vice versa. Are their sounds suggestive of their quality, or does their meaning wholly determine their effect on us?

when's your next concert? :D I'll kidnap Keima for you, and force him to attend!

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:15:39 -0500

Well Takahara-san is really busy because of the running team lately and everyone hasn’t been at practice. I can’t wait for our next concert though.

Notice

(Hello this is the Admin and I am trying to draw to everyone’s asks but I takes a while please bear with me! Thank you for following)

So I'm guessing you'd do anything for Katsuragi, huh? You do realize his true love is Yokyuun, right? O.O

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:25:23 -0500

I do believe that I can conquer Keima-kun by showing how true my love is for him.

How do you feel about Keima 5-timing you?

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:17:00 -0500

He is really quite a player… but I will show him the true meaning of love

do you like Keima?

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:15:31 -0500

What a silly question! Of Course I love him and I will show him even if both of us have to cross dress!
