Word Love

I fell in love yesterday. It was quick and fast, and I haven’t done that for such a long time. I wanted to savour it in private for a wee bit, before I announce to the public, my undying love for this thing. I like savouring it over and over, rolling it around the mouth, til I get it right. Remember, tongue and mouth work are important with first signs of love.

I fell in love ... with a word called behemoth. It means fuckin huge! Or if you want the dictionary meaning:
Behemoth (noun) -
1. an animal, perhaps the hippopotamus, mentioned in the bible Job 40:15–24.
2. any creature or thing of monstrous size or power
[Middle English behemoth, bemoth, from Hebrew bəhēmôt, pl. of bəhēmâ, beast; see bhm in Semitic roots.]

Isn’t it a tops word? Rolls off the tongue it does, and make for a lovely insult for those dumb fucks that think reading a classic is a comic book.
