3 Little Words

Nope, it is not I love you, although those are three lovely words.

 As a writer, words intrigue me. I have 5 favorites. Here they are in order.

3

Gobsmacked

 A British word literally meaning smacked/hit in the gob/mouth but used to express amazement. I was gobsmacked when I won.

2

Peckish

Another British English meaning hungry. I'm peckish having missed breakfast and lunch.

1

Plethora 

Abundance. There was a plethora of choices at the buffet.

I seldom would get a chance to use all three in the same sentence such as I was gobsmacked when I arrived at the restaurant very peckish to find a plethora of food in their buffet for only 5.99.
