Word 10: Meticulous


meticulous
(adj.) extremely careful with details (The ornate needlework in the bride’s gown was a product of meticulous handiwork.)
So, I've been sharing some lesser used/known words in my blog for a few days now. 
I'd now like to know what your favourite word is!
  Albeit common, simple, over-used or even ancient, whatever! 
Post it in a comment with a definition, and let's contribute to everyone's vocabulary!
Being Scottish, I figured I should pick a Scottish word to enlighten you with. So I've gone for -Glaikit. It's basically used to describe a person or expression that looks stupid or dim.
Let's get sharing!

  8. Here's a Welsh word for you - cwtch (rhymes with butch - to help with the pronunciation)

    There's no literal English translation, but its nearest equivlent is "safe place". So if you give someone a cwtch, you're giving them a "safe place"...so like an affectionate hug

    It can also be used as a place to store things safely (usually a cupboard under a staircase)
