I LOVE words! I think language is the best part of being a human. There's nothing as good as taking a new word and rolling it around the inside of my mouth and feeling how it tastes.
Todays word;
Cachinnator (cak-in-ay-ter)
From the Latin; cachinnatus
To laugh loudly or immoderately.
One of my favorite movies is, "Oklahoma!"
So full of color and emotion, light and darkness!
There is a scene, where all the young ladies have stopped off at Aunt Eller's farm house to freshen up before they continue on to the barn dance. There is a girl there who has a HIDEOUS laugh, designed to draw attention.

Now, I have room to talk, because I'm a bit of an obnoxious laugher myself. There are people, who haven't seen me in years, but if they hear me laugh they can identify me right away!
Some would say I have a hearty laugh. I admit it can be shrill, when I'm nervous.
Although it may be loud, it is completely genuine and often contagious.
Therefore, I hereby declare myself to be a
NONCACHINNATOR!
How about you?

I've never seen the movie, but I remember the play Oklahoma from high school. A couple of years ago I found a silver-plate bird at an estate sale that plays Oh What A Beautiful Morning. Love it.
Have a great day!
Yes, many people say they know I am around because of my laugh
Oh, I can just hear the laugh of that girl in Oklahoma now...and I haven't watched the movie in months!!
Um...cack?
Hmmm... I don't think I have a distinctive laugh. If you really make me laugh than I might snort (I know, not very lady-like!) :) Thanks for sharing at ROI!
