Titillating. mellifluous. and strangely given what it means, effluent (I always find it amusing describing someone as affluent)

Hyperbole. It is so fun to say

Cromulent. Because it's silly.

Next time we're on Skype, please say it correctly for me so I can repeat it.

Will do. I never heard it as a cuss word before, but it sure could be used like one. I had a teacher in high school who called me a Kokosmakroon whenever I did something stupid.

So what does à propos mean in English, then?

Also, more words I like:
Tenacity; demolition; je-ne-sais-quoi (with an English accent); simpleton; fidelity.

I practised my pronunciation of 'pronunciation' today. I suck at it.

It's like the word 'lisp' anyone with a difficulty in the area can't say it properly. We are so mean with out language.

I think it means approrpriate, right? Like when someone says a phrase like, 'her dress was very à propos', it means it was very fitting for the occasion?*

adj. Being at once opportune and to the point

adv. At an appropriate time; opportunely.
By the way; incidentally

prep. With regard to; concerning

I've been looking up these words nonstop because even if I think I know the meaning pretty well it's good for clarity and also it helps me remember them so I can use them

Also I love the word dulcet

the dulcet tones of the cello
