Words that Fit vs. Words that Don't

Isn't it about time for a grammar or word-related post? I think so too. Behold:

Six words that fit their definitions.

1. "Weird" is indeed a very weird-sounding word. Go ahead, say it out loud.
2. "Awkward" is exceedingly awkward to spell.
3. "Aardvark" sounds just as ugly as the animal is.
4. "Grotesque" can hardly be uttered without an accompanying snarl.
5. "Balloon" has a soft, round sound to it, don't you think?
6. "Melodious" rolls off the tongue like a melody.

Six words that don't fit.

1. "Abbreviate" is WAY too long. We like to use "abbreve" at our house instead.
2. "Siesta" sounds way too peppy to mean "nap." Surely because it rhymes with "fiesta."
3. "Penultimate" is far too grandiose to mean "second to last."
4. "Hyberbole" sounds like something from geometry rather than meaning "exaggerating for effect." An example of hyperbole: "This project is going to take a million years to complete!"
5. "Gesticulate." After encountering this word in a short story, my stepson thought it was a cross between "guess" and "speculate." (Quite a good gesticulation, right?) But it really means "to express by gesturing" or "to talk with one's hands." It is often followed by the adverb "wildly."
6. "Stentorian" has such a dignified and academic feel that it can't really mean "extremely loud," can it?
   "Did you hear that stentorian rock band the other night? It was off the hook!" Bad example, I know. But even if I heard, "His stentorian voice reverberated through the hall," I'd imagine an elderly gentleman pontificating in an 18th-century British accent.

There are oh so many more, but this is what comes to mind at the moment. I also think that "opaque" sounds like it should mean "transparent" instead of the exact opposite, but that's probably just me.

Would you like to add to my list?
