A variation of [thread=2549064]this thread[/thread].
Are there any words that feel good to you to use but you never really get to use them?
I have thought of one: pugnacious.
Phonetically I like the way that it feels to think or utter that word--the way that it resonates with my brain. But I could probably count on one hand the number of times that I will ever use it.
Once, I was talking about that word with a friend. He had never heard it. I tried to define it and use it in a sentence. It means "eager to compete", I said. "Pete Rose was pugnacious", I said.
