Hi Veronica — thanks for stopping by my blog and helping to spread the meme! Rip-roaring reminds me of another one of my favorites: ever-loving. Or should it be ever-lovin’?
Anyway, welcome to the blogosphere. I enjoyed reading what you’ve written so far and I’ll be back soon.
I like your list - especially the words you are embarrassed (”embarrassed” is the word I always wonder if I’ve spelled correctly)to say out loud - they sound, so… dirty! On my way to the bookworm right now.
