Portal:English/word of the week/archive 1

Nominations for English are OPENED :) also, hereby I nominate:
 * foreign — even though it often means "non-English" on the internet and in English countries, English is actually foreign to me and to many of our members too; I think it'd match what we are
 * sunset — besides a sunset being beautiful, I love the sound of this word, which in 6 letters captures the brief (colorful!) period of time between the bright blue of the day sky and the star-covered dark blue night sky

How about a big word?
 * schtroumpfed - a real English word (books uses it), translated from French -- Smurf. It has one syllable, comes from French and you can use it anywhere. 00:04, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

I'm nominating Elseweyr [ talk | stalk ] February 25, 2014, 12:33:15 (UTC)
 * aware – I like the look of the word, and the notion it carries.
 * flappy – a funny and topical word which sounds like the action it describes.

My words would be:
 * caboose or
 * vamoose

Because I think they look funny. :P -- Tupka 217 19:37, March 4, 2014 (UTC)
