Zeugma: a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g. John and his driving license expired last week ). I was looking at this video (linked above) where a woman asked what was their favorite literary device and someone in the comments said this. Had to look it up immediately. I'm obsessed.
Quippy: a witty or funny observation or response usually made on the spur of the moment; something strange, droll, curious, or eccentric.
This word is so cute.
I love words that, although appearing innocuous and superficial are packed with either rich history or an applied *hidden meaning* brought forth from our weird silly brains. my favorites:
-Gothic (who ARE the goths?!)
-Zany —the mixture of work and play: comedy as affective labor?
-Vibe —aesthetics? ethos? ambience?
-Camp
-”Guys girl”
-Urban
-Wholesome
-Cute
A word I already know but I like the sound of: Diaphanous: characterized by such fineness of texture as to permit seeing through; characterized by extreme delicacy of form
