ARE YOU ASHAMED OF YOUR POOR VOCABULARY?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK/WRITE LIKE WILLO?

If so, help is at hand. Below, as a beginner's guide, is a selection of Willo-isms from the great man's Collected Works 2022, together with the common words the rest of us use:

Common Willo

Food Culinary offerings
Speed Alacrity
Read Peruse
Vague Nebulous
Believe Am of the belief that
Speech Articulation
" Oratory
Optimistic Panglossian
Advice Counsel
Head Pate
Hairy Hirsute
Beautiful Pulchritudinous
Tendency Proclivity
Stop Cease from
Agree Concur
Criticism Opprobrium
View/opinion Sentiments
Drunk Temulent
Think about Ponder

If you can master these modes of expression, and also bring into your speech words from Willo's vocabulary such as Acuity, Vacuity, Grandiloquence and Pauciloquy, you'll amaze your friends - though some jealous people may say that they don't know what you're talking about.

Hell's teeth.

I suspect many have concluded that my articulation amounts to blizzards of words in search of a coherent sentence with rhetoric burbling akin to a low-pressure drinking fountain.

Incontrovertible and clearly will receive the imprimatur of the HOL family.

Positively perspicacious.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Certainly no dissonance amongst the interlocutors on HOL apropos my gallimaufry of articulation.

For avoidance of doubt I am not 'Leonard Sachs' from the 'Good old days' !

Good! Since he departed this earthly platform in 1990, you'd be a rather malodorous addition to Hol by now...

In actual fact my thought processes have sometimes gallivanted down the road to concluding that I AM a "Malodorous addition" to HOL and if there was unanimity of thought amongst the multitudes who would rather I disappear into the ether then I would respect their wishes.

“inbreathiate,” “predefinite,” “reclamation,” “infraction point” and “circumspective.”

Words make no sense as not in English dictionary the way they are written but they can have a meaning if you choose them to.

Willo, it would never be unanimous for you to foxtrot Oscar.
