  2. Swell, This word makes me think of the 1950’s, as in gee whiz, that’s swell. Picture some guy in khaki pants and a button down shirt with a pocket protector and white socks walking down the street talking to his nerdy friends.

  3. After a night of tequlia with heavy-set Richard, the last place I wanted to be was on a boat, the heavy swells of the sea, rocking us back and forth, violently ripping my stomach lining from its resting spot,daring me to to hurl my breakfast across the roof of the boat.

  5. No one uses the word swell anymore. It seems like a word that only existed in Grease. But actually, it’s a pretty cool word. Swell. It’s much better than “awesome” or “sick.” It sounds happy and bubbly…maybe that is why it’s lost popularity. No one wants to sound like a hyper girl from a 50 or 60s movie.

  9. “Well gee, honey,” he said, shaking his head so the mop of blonde hair was temporarily out of his eyes, “that’s just swell.” Cornfed, sun-kissed, teeth blazing white, and determined to speak like a farmer form 1950.

  12. The swelling and ebbing of the water fascinated her. It was as if it was luring her, calling for her to walk further, to go deeper. She could almost see herself walking in, step by step, until the water washes right over her head and she is fully submerged in that astounding, never ending blue. It would be beautiful.

    A swell, in the context of an ocean, sea or lake, is a series of surface gravity waves that is not generated by the local wind.
    Hulă se numește o mișcare ondulatorie a apei de la suprafața mării sau oceanului, ce continuă și după încetarea vântului care a provocat-o.
    Мёртвая зыбь — обозначение волн на водной поверхности, имеющих место при отсутствии прямого, непосредственного воздействия на неё внешней среды (например, ветров, подземных толчков и т. п.). После прекращения воздействия ветра продолжающееся волнообразное движение вызывается процессами, происходящими зачастую в весьма отдалённых регионах моря либо океана.

  14. From far off across the grey waters, I could see the swell moving toward me, growing and looming. I paddled faster, not ready for such a monstrous wave to topple me on my first trip out on the board.

  15. The ocean swell was excellent for surfing this time of year Jon thought. He had moved to the shore just to be able to surf anytime. The salt air just makes your outlook on life better, add the physical aspect of surfing-and life is great.

  19. It swelled. But what is it? Is it swell that it or he swelled? Well, that’s matter of opinion and consent. If it was given and it wasn’t asked for then, why the hell did he swell anyway? It not his choice. Sometimes it just happens and you can’t choose why or how or when, Just face the right way and maybe take a sip from your drink because it will never stop unless your eyes do and even then, the imagination is powerful, more capable of stimulating all the senses than visual stimuli alone. enjoy my friends and don’t resent the swell. It is swell.

  20. It is to increase in size, but what exactly! Ones head with ridiculous notions or intelligible thoughts.

  22. Well it’s that just great? I mean, really, who uses that word without sarcasm? They go together. This isn’t the 40’s or whenever they actually meant that. Wait. They did mean it at one point. Jeez, and we thought our future was in trouble. What about the past?!

  23. Sleep was a rare luxury that week… much as the earth is a lonely soul in the crowded room of the universe, their vessel was getting on for 800 miles from their nearest neighbour, and with seas like this, their bones ached from supporting the pendulous forces on their water rich flesh. The swell was reaching 40ft at times, and the only way through was to ride it out, lest hell came from high water.

  24. I was swelling with joy. I had learned that I got into the IASAS team for MUN. It was my first season trying out, so I had no idea that I was going to be chosen for the best team. It was easily one of the most accomplishing moments of my highschool career.

  32. It so swell to meet him at the farmer’s market. He eyes were a beautiful dark brown and his arms were swollen with muscles. Beautiful chocolate muscles. I was afraid to approach him, but he approached me first.
