Benign, and pretty-sounding, too.

mercy commented on the list lost-for-word
That's so cool! You could fly it by a family member and see what they think. I can only think of one other -ate, but it has less to do with the body: lucubrate.

Maybe impinguate or, less likely, but more fun: steatopygous?

mercy commented on the list human-sexuality
No, I'm going to keep them separate, Prolagus. : ) I wanted to have a list that reflected sensual sexuality as opposed to sexual orientation sexuality.
Since I only have five listed, I'm not very well-educated myself, sadly.

Hey, awesome tip. I was wondering how to delete multiples. Thanks. : )
As for cults, most people seem to label a religious/faith-based system as a cult when it has a small membership or seems unorthodox—that being relative, really. I remember trying to dissect the difference between cults and religions in Philosophy 101. There aren't many concrete definitions when it comes to faith.

mercy commented on the list wordie-challenge
Fun! I need to get my gears turning to squeeze out something good.
As for getting more personal, I do like knowing more about people, though at a remove (in most cases), too. I particularly like those users who have a nicely-sized "about" blurb on their profiles.
Which reminds me, I should update mine.

mercy commented on the word open-list
Popularity would make it very hard to manage. I couldn't even remember which ones I'd set as open. Unfortunately, you can't tag a list without tagging every word in it as well. Hopefully the marker feature will be out soon.
Not to mention, having it in my lists is somehow annoying.

mercy commented on the word lgbtq
Actually, the "I" is for "intersex", those with biological aspects of both sexes. As an aside, you'll sometimes see LGBTQIA as well, with the "A" standing for "allies".
