Awesome Word (Or Phrase) of the Unspecified Random Time Period

Luscious: Adjective: Luscious means: pleasurable to the senses or mind; rich; or luxurious. So you could say... She bit into the luscious peach, the room was lusciously furnished, or her writing style was rich with luscious descriptions. I generally get a mental image of biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy peach when hearing or using this word. This is one of those words that doesn't get used enough in casual conversation. Why not try it out?

  1. Haha, thats really funny, because Draco Malfoy's father in Harry Potter was named Luscious, and the Malfoys always prided themselves as being really wealthy which totally makes sence! And I definatly will try using it in a conversation one of these days!

  2. oh wait, I just looked the word up, and the guy from Harry Potter was actually LUCIOUS Malfoy not Luscious. But I know that a lot of the names used in HP where derived from actuall words in all different languages, especially latin, so you can still see where the name came from!
