What words do you like to hear around the office?


Words are our business, so we thought it would be a nice idea to ask around the office and see the sort of words that we're particularly fond of for whatever reason...!

So here we go... Rachel likes the word galloshes, balderdash and serendipity but doesn't like the word sandal. Maybe it goes hand in hand with not liking sandals in themselves. In any case, we bet you'll be saying these words to yourself right now!

Nikki, 'our wordsmith' likes the following words starting with the letter p; provocative and prerogative and says the reason is because they flow nicely when she says them.

Jenni likes the words pandemonium, cantancarous and flambuoyant - maybe it's the number of syllables that is the attraction!

Justine came up with the town name - Pontefract - and to be honest, we all nodded our heads at this one. Mmm good name... it's also one of those names that you think should be Welsh!

Gita has a passion for using the phrase "Beaut". Everything is well if it's beaut!

When it comes to regularly used phrases we use around the office, Nina likes to say "You love it you do" - apparently she and her friends say it all the time referring to anything they're doing. They've also finally caught on to the phrase LOL.(laugh out loud) - that took some doing!

She said "This started off as a bit of a joke between herself and her friends as they never used to say LOL at all and laughed at people who did.

She continued: "We've now said it so much we find it really funny ..... LOL! Ah but what about ROFL?
