    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.

    I don’t know that I have one now, but when I was a kid I liked “minimizing” because it was a pleasant pattern to type.

    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.

      Similar to: chough

      It’s a type of bird but good luck knowing how to pronounce it. Ahh, English.
