Personal Lexicon
July 2025: This was initially a place to put memes that I use, but then I never updated this so now I’ll use it to put cool fancy new words that I learn and like, because 1) I look up the same words repeatedly because I never remember their definitions; 2) I want to improve my pitiful vocabulary; and 3) I like words (says she who has a pitiful vocabulary).
Definition sources:
- Merriam-Webster
- Google search, which is sourced from Oxford Languages
- Webster’s 1913
Definitions written here will include both copied definitions and my own rewording.
Undecided whether I should order these chronologically or alphabetically…
Maybe: add idioms
English
- euphony: a pleasing or sweet sound
- iconoclast: a destroyer of images, idols, institutions, cherished beliefs
- lexicon: the vocabulary of a language, an individual/group, of a subject; a manner of speaking
- nonpareil: peerless; without equal
- perdition: eternal damnation; hell; archaic: utter destruction
- sepulchre/sepulcher: a place of burial
Memes
These are not necessarily official memes that people know and use but also inside joke memes that I use among friends after I have subjected them to the memes’ respective origins.
- i enjoy: ‘I like this,’ with an element of humour to it
- origin: Pre-Cracked egg by obvious plant
- uwu: a cutesy word, used as punctuation or expression of cutesiness
- [posts a selfie] uwu
- water drinking: an esoteric hobby or interest
- I tried reading up about record players but there’s too much water drinking
- this is water drinking content
- origin: the ProZD skit before and after you discover the subreddit for a hobby
I am also a fan of the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.
