Evildela:Mojosa .. I will use it to the day I die. Vivu Mojosulojn!
Why not, comrade? rido.gif

I thought Mojosa was nonstandard because it's "not necessary"? That said, malaĉa also covers the meaning well I've come to find (or have been brainwashed to say so).

I don't use "mojosa" because I think it sounds lame, contrived, and so VERY uncool. Actually the more someone uses the word "mojosa", the less cool I think they are.

I use "beluma" myself, someone told it to me a long time ago and I liked it.

katorugxa:SORRY, I am just curious. What is your major?
My major? When I studied in university? Mechanical engineering.

See, this is the ultimate problem with "cool":
- If you use the word "cool" too much, you're not cool
- If you get irritated when people use the word "cool", it's uncool
- If you don't do either, then you're just plain normal
- Ergo the only ones who can truly feel the coolness are those who don't even bother thinking about such matters and don't mind what word gets used.

(it goes without saying that the latter may also be hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)

I personally do have a soft spot for "mojosa" coz it sounds sort of pacificky, as if you're on the beach listening to some reggae or something like that.

Either way the essence of cool is pretty much "chill out maaaaan" (chill = cool), which is what all people would secretly like to be (preferably not by being on drugs). When you're chilled, relaxed, you don't give shi a second thought about what the best word is etc, and you don't go judgin'.

Ergo malaĉa, beluma, mojosa, all are cool. Those who worry about which word is better, about which is lame and which is the right way, they're all actin' like posers and need to chill, bro.

(all of the above is best done with a smooth black accent)

I think I'll just use grasa, and feel superior when no one knows what I'm talking about.
