countless Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 mucous membrane [neusslijmvlies] etc.heehee you seem to be really impressed by this word, my friend C Link to comment
countless Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I love: 'the sniffles', 'coming down with...', 'runny nose'my Dutch favourites (maybe Count can pick up a new one ): snotvalling (slang - head cold), natte zakdoek (damp hankie), niesbui (sneezing fit), loopneus (runny nose), snuiterig (having the sniffles), ...C Link to comment
count tiszula Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I do like loopneus! But then it just about works in English as lope-nose, just as my favourite neusslijmvlies works as noseslimefleece.... Hurrah for crosschannel cocomprehensibility. Goed butter an goed chies is goed English an goed Fris, as I always say. Link to comment
musictomyeyes Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 i love when people say "violent" or anything relating to the force of the sneeze.. and "spray." Link to comment
kitsune Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 There are so many I don't even know where to start..."Sneeze" itself is a favourite for me, although some people don't seem to think so. Tickly/ticklish, itchy, quivering, trembling, twitching for describing the nose, and I also love it when the nose/nostrils are described as 'sensitive'. As for describing the sneezes, I like words like 'desperate', 'uncontrollable', 'frantic'.And this is just what I can think off the top of my head, haha. Link to comment
countless Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 There is an important one that I would like to add to the list: AGAIN !Sneezing again, cold again, sick again, ... YES I love it.C Link to comment
Chanel_no5 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Something I just realised that I go crazy about, is when someone sneezes, and THEN say "I have to sneeze". Naturally, that statement must be followed by at least one more sneeze, and preferably a fit. Link to comment
Sitruuna Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hmmn...My absolute favourites aren't English words... I like a couple of Swedish words, including nysa (sneeze, as far as I know xD) and snuva. Then I also like many Finnish words like flunssa (a cold), vilustua (to catch a cold xD), niistää (to blow one's nose), nuha (the same as snuva, a kind of combination of all kinds of nasal symptoms (congestion, dripping...))... Aargh, I don't even know what all. .__.But yes, when it comes to english words... "Pneumonia" 8 D And... Sniffle. Snot. Also if there's first a lot of this "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine" "Are sure?" "Absolutely" and so on and then at some point the person is like "I feel a bit sick... -ish" or says that their throat is sore or they are stuffy or feel feverish. xD But yea... I dunno. i can't really think any English words I would like as much as those Finnish and Swedish words listed above... *shrug* Edited April 29, 2012 by Sitruuna Link to comment
tess_mess Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 "Hitching" is probably my favorite. "Uncontrollable", "Desperate", and "Sniffly" are up there on the list as well Link to comment
Isla DeFlores Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Um, awesome topic? Or most awesome topic EVER?I absolutely love the word "sneeze," although I also totally get why it would squick other people. "Itchy," "twitch," "rub"... I also like descriptions of someone's nose turning red from an allergy (not a cold, though!). Oh, and "urgent." Love that one.Also, anything along the lines of "I'm going to sneeze!"THIS times eight million. It's my favorite thing ever. Link to comment
happybunny Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 lol, just reading all o these comments make me think that all of us are slightly Sadistic. haha. but I like "doubles over"when the charachter goes to sneeze, it makes me picture how forceful it is. Also "cringed" and"fever" I just love when a man gets a fever... so sexy.ha this was fun, great idea. Link to comment
alias Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 lol, just reading all o these comments make me think that all of us are slightly Sadistic. I've accepted my sadistic side I too am a big fan of "fever." I also love "hitch," "muffled," "stifle," "tried" (any time they try to prevent something is just adorable), and my personal favorite, the little "guh" exhale someone gives when their done.
