Hidden Words

When Paul W. got married last year, my dear friend Brandt was the best man. We were sitting at the bar at the reception and a group of us decided to give Brandt a list of words that he had to incorporate into his best man speech, without it being obvious. Each person contributed one word (couldn't be dirty) and they included:
Encyclopedia
Lumberjack
Nimble
Delicious
Barracuda
and a few others...but you get the point. Funniest best man speech I have ever heard. I was literally crying I was laughing so hard. Well, last week Brandt got engaged. And Paul is going to be his best man. Seth (the four of us have been friends for over a decade) just sent me his list of potential words, which are:

  • Hierarchical
  • Entrepreneurial
  • Conshohocken
  • Hamburgerler
  • Panini
  • Buxom
  • Cavalier
  • Prance
  • Ye
I read the email and burst out laughing in the middle of the coffee shop. My suggestions are all from the unromantic dictionary, but I feel strongly that Seth's list is quite complete.
Splay
Cockroach
Mermaid
Amalgamate

What else do ya'll suggest? Remember, these are going into a best man speech. It's fun to have the list and check them off as he uses them. Hilarious.

I drove Rochester - Syracuse - Rochester today...so on this trip I thought of some words that may, or may not make the list...but it's funny to think about anyway...

- posthumous
- participle (seriously, I just read all 7 meanings of this on dictionary.com and I have NO idea how anyone could use it in a best man speech)
- lipid

more to come...this is a fun game :) And even more fun to think of Paul saying it at Brandt's and Amelia's wedding!!!

P.S. Happy 5 year anniversary of not NOT getting my car towed...and of bar hopping in 'cuse. I'll call ya back soon...don't worry, I haven't forgotten your message you left last week! MISS AND LOVE YOU
