    Suss

    verb. To suss something. To solve or figure it out. To come to understand it.

    Short, sweet, one syllable. Two letters, three S’s (which, honestly, do the heavy lifting) and U, the goth child of the vowels.

    Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they’re angry.

    My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).

    Depending on the language. In English I like overwhelming or acknowledge, in Catalan I like xiuxiuejar it means to whisper, in Spanish I love almajaneque, it comes from Arabic and it means trebuchet.

    Fuck! It’s just so descriptive yet so vague. Can almost be used as a place holder for anything.

    Fuck? Fuck! Fuck. Fucking, fucker, fucked. Fuck yourself you fucking fuck! Fucking hell mate. What the fuck? Finger fucked, proper fucked. Who gives a flying fuck. That fucking fucker fucked my fucking girlfriend, FUCK! That fucker over there. Fucking get over here. I’m gonna get the fuck out before I fuck myself.
