As a part of my new overall publicity strategy I'm considering to write my blog in English instead of Norwegian. This is only a test, and some feedback is necessary, so please feel free to comment.
Now, over to the real subject; words! And not words in general (not mundane ones as black, girl or supercilious), but words that are wonderful to pronounce or have a beautiful meaning or both, such as last rounds loathe and void.
My initial contribution are lime, superfluous, khaki, groin... More is to come, so, dear readers, please put your heads to some use and contribute to this wonderful collection.

English, the language in which Shakespeare wrote his sonnets - and not by accident. It truly is the language of the Gods (and most importantly, I know a lot of really fancy words with which to impress the ladies).
By the way, Øyvinds good looks aside, does he really deserve a woman of your beauty and virtue? I think you must elaborate on his qualities, otherwise he is likely to find the head of a horse in his bed as a warning ;) Right, Håkon?
Good Words:
- Woo [to court and seduce]
- Smooth (it rolls off the tongue so nicely)
- Soothe (the thing honey does if you have a scratchy throat)
- And I have many more!
As I write, im currently grinding my axe. Horsehead, duckhead...ive used them all.
About writing in English, there are pros and cons, one con is that you cant express "surklesild og smalahovud"
Btw, im considering peeling of my skin, layer by layer. Good idea?
Håkon: Good to know you're well equipped to defend Anne's honour. But, whats wrong with 'Herring à la Vomit' and 'Sheep Disgusto'? I think they describe these dishes perfectly..
What do you plan to do with your skin, once peeled? Make a life-size atlas of your moles and other skin-anomalies?
First of all, boys, there is no need to run to the attic an grab the nearest hay-fork or skin peeler. Øyvind is a perfect gentleman who spoils me rotten, so don't worry.
More good words: soil, tweak and butter!
Every once in a while I check to see if Anne would live up to her promise to write the blog in English. So, sorry I'm late to the party, but I happen to have a rather extensive list of good words. In fact, when I was in high school, a friend and I used the back of our government class syllabus to compile a list of such items, titled, appropriately, "The Good Words."
Here are just a few:
Participle
Booth
Strophic
Lexington
Styrofoam
Disingenuous
and, even though this is actually three words, and a proper name, it was always our favorite:
Boutros Boutros Ghali
Cheers,
-Chris
