Juvenile adjectives

I was trying unsuccessfully to think of adjectives that start with the letter J.

Now I can name some:
Jade, jazzy, jumpy, junky, jerky, jilted, jiggling, or would it be jiggly?  and juvenile.

Do words that start with G, but sound like J count?
Germy, ginfilled, German, germaine, generous...

Cantankerous Cacophony

I'm feeling cantankerous today. What cacophony! I's a word which is not too common, but so relevant.

Cantankerous means cranky, irritable, irascible. It is from Latin, I predict. Wait, the origin of this word is much more interesting than I thot. It comes from some alteration or mispronunciation of a Middle English word for troublemaker, which probably came from a French word for contrarian. The opposite of cantankerous is easy-going.

Cacophony means harsh disharmonious (unharmonious?) noise, as opposed to a symphony which is harmonious music. It comes from Greek, caco means bad and phone means noise.

May all you encounters today be harmonious and non-cantankerous!

crazy words

Crazy is kindof a crazy word. Only 2 syllables short. It contains the letter Z, which is under-utilized in our language. And it contains Y used as a vowel. Also quite unusual.

Crazy means insane, eccentric, or mad.

It can also be used as an intensifier as in She's crazy mean.

It can be used as a compliment, too. That's crazy cool!

Just a few of my crazy thoughts. I'm done now.

Delightful Surprise

Is a delightful surprise or a surprising delight? It works both ways.

Peaceful Rest or Restful Peace? Same difference.

How weird is that?! Same difference? That's definitely an oxymoron.
