Terry Pratchett’s favourite word
by Kreme on Jan.17, 2007, under Computer
Terry Pratchett once wrote that his favourite word was “Susurration” and described it thus:
…from the Latin susurruss, whisper or rustling, which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a hushed noise.… It’s the noise, in fact, made just after the sword is withdrawn from the stone and just before the cheering starts.
If you’ve not read Terry Pratchett, do. If you have, read him some more.
Here’s a list of the discworld books
