Cribbed from - A Bloomsbury Life: Have Words, Will Travel

While I fail to be convinced about twitter usefulness, I tripped across this blog posting yesterday and can't get it out of my head. My vocabulary has become so constricted that I resort to invention (shrubbish) when there are plenty of WORDS out there that can be employed -- for gardening and life.

I link it here because I don't want to misplace it. 
 
"A Bloomsbury Life: Have Words, Will Travel: There are some words so rich in personality and atmosphere they don't need pictures to accompany them. Here are a few. Aperitif..."

Would you work on a list with me that conjures pictures (should your camera be broken)?

    wonderful words!! Not conjuring pictures exactly but maybe feelings: how 'bout gnarl. And just found flirligig (I cheated and googled) but this sounds like you, meaning 1. a nondescript thing or 2.a wanton lass.
    But the earlier 'harumph' was my own thought.
