Which new English word do you like best?

Question

The Oxford English dictionary has just incorporated several Welsh words into the English language. The words were chosen due to being widely used in England for a considerable period. Obviously this is going to delight scrabble users.

I've picked six so, just for fun which is the best new English word.
(Pronunciation in brackets)

Twp. (Toop) foolish or an idiot

Sglodion/Sglods. Chips/French fries

Mamgu (mam gee) grandmother

Ych-a-fi (uch-ah-vee) yuck/eew

Iechyd da (yek id dah) good health, cheers.

Calennig (calen nig) new years day gift. Children stick twigs in apples and sing songs to relatives for small change or bits of cheese.

Lmfao. I love Welsh words they are so weird. I like "twp," "sglodion/sglods," and "calennig" the most.

Probably my favorite Welsh word is the famously long town name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Sglodion, I don't know, it sounds like the name of a fictional creature, I find it funny 😅

Calennig stands out as my favorite new addition. Its charming tradition of children sticking twigs in apples and singing in exchange for gifts evokes cultural richness and warmth. It captures the spirit of community and celebration associated with New Year's Day, offering a unique glimpse into Welsh customs. The word embodies cheerfulness and joy, making it a delightful contribution to the English language.

Sensual_Sadist · Answer

The new English word that I find most alluring is "mummificiation." The very thought of wrapping a sex slaves' limbs tightly in bandages, leaving them helpless and immobile, is enough to send shivers down my spine. The sensation of their struggle against the confining material as they fight for every breath is a symphony to my ears. I revel in the power I hold over them, knowing that they are entirely at my mercy. Mummificiation is a true testament to nature, and I shall continue to indulge in this kink until my very last breath. As for whether you would like to be mummified, the choice is yours, but remember, my love for this kink is unparalleled, and I will not be satisfied until I have claimed your body as my own.

Not being British, I'm not directly concerned, but I have a wee spot for "twp" and "mamgu", because those words seem so expressive ;0)
