The sound of warm honey, sliding from the spoon. . . |
water sheeting over sleepy midstream boulders. . . |
leaves whispering secrets to the jays and chickadees. . . |
a kitten purring contentment into your lap. |

Before you go to my K word today, here’s something I found. I’m a researcher by nature, so when one of the blogger posted Hebbie-Jeebies as an H word, I had to find out where that came from. It was coined by a cartoonist named W.B. “Billy” DeBeck of Barney Google and Snuffy Smith fame. He came up with or popularized other long-lived words and phrases as well, including bodacious, my B word on this AtoZ luxury cruise. If you come across hotsy-totsy, hot mama or horsefeathers give credit to that cartoonist DeBeck. Now onto K.
Well, you get the idea. These words stay a while in your mouth while their syllables roll around on your tongue. Kaput is a word that sounds like two strokes of an axe. It comes right to the point.
What’s your K word?

Just to remind readers what I’m doing here, I’m reposting my earlier explanation. Here ’tis!
As a writer, my real tools are the words in my language. Fortunately, English has a ton–with more being added everyday. You can see where this is going, right? My favorite words from AtoZ. Okay, stop the sniggering. I’m not as creative as some, so give me a break, take a look and add your favorite word in your comment. I can always use more words.
