Word Freak Fest: primal part
 

This week's challenge: English words with three or more consecutive vowels. No cheating. Form an orderly queue ;)


Oh and be sweet, suggest one at a time to give others in different time zones a chance......

Would 'aegis' count?


possibly not...not really English.

What about 'attention'?

Dana, I think monster meant consecutive as in "one after another," like qUEUE, which has four consecutive vowels, as opposed to "in alphabetical order" like AttEntIOn.

One of my all time favorite words:
salacious

Aeon

Ahhh! Gotcha...

In that case: mediaeval

encyclopediae (?)

aqueous

manoeuver/manoeuvre.

Sorry to post twice, I just used this in another thread and went: eureka!

Do you think the Queen makes her own manoeuvers or does she have people for that?

Facetious. Also has all the vowels in alphabetical order.


Sent by thought transference

I beg to differ. Also does not have all the vowels in alphabetical order. True, all the vowels it *does have* are present in the same order as they are in the alphabet, but that's not what you were talking about, I'm sure. You may poo-poo my response as a facetious one, but that would not be valid. I don't care, I've been sham-pooed before.

Facetiously.


:p:

I say! manoueuvreboard!

Facetiously?

I can hardly believe what I'm seeing!

You ever see Sequoia National Park?

I wonder how long before this thread devolves into less polite words, like peeing and pooing and queefing?

about sixteen

quiescent
quaint
quail -ity -ified


The Q's are too easy.

Wait - quailified?

Also all the 'ious' words - too easy. Conscious, delicious, lascivious, etc.

Quailified is a perfectly cromulent word. It means to be made more quail-like.

With a few dabs of paint and some stragetically placed feathers, we could quailify that squab.

And then the squab would become part of the quaility. As long as he owned land and dressed for dinner.

Logubrious


What a fun word. Wonder what it means...

lieutenant

lu·gu·bri·ous means to look or sound sad, so lo·gu·bri·ous must mean

look at that sad person or thing over there.

Easy? Well, sure. I find conscious lasciviousness delicious.

beautiful

Spontaneous

Your word "spontaneous" may have been a spur of the moment post, but my post felt like aeons in the making.

And yet inauspicious, as aeon has already been submitted ...

Bodacious

queueing

liaison

egregious

Old MacDonald had a farm


YFTP.

YFTP - I'm feeling a little dumb...what does that stand for?

You Finish This Poem. It's JBK's.

so let's up the ante to 4 or more consecutive vowels....


so far we have:
queue
aqueous
sequoia

maybe I missed some?

what about the act of joining a queue, queueing?

What comes after a sequoia? A sequelae!

Thanks folks, I'll bee hear all weak. Don't be abstemious, try the wonton guantanamera.

queueous (Walmart on a Friday night)

queueouser and queueouser (Alice, a cashier at Walmart on a Friday night)

I already said queueing.

Hawaiian

Ms. Onomatopoeia.

Eek! I can't believe I can't find any pictures from the old Wordsmith show. Grrrr. Hiss. Oh well, I guess I won't screech about it, though I've lost my faith in the intrawebz. Maybe I'll go tweet about it and see if I can find one.

miaouing

Speak up.

Yes, but Dana's British, so she said queueing politely and pretty much habitually.



I'm still sulking about that scrabble incident, thank you very much. ;)

I don't remember a scrabble incident....

Yes, they do love their extra letters on the Continent.

oui, oui, oui.

Ciao, Bella

mon dieu!

Peep!
