Brief definition of colloquialism: A local or regional dialect expression.
"Slang" sometimes applies, I think.
Some synonyms: idiom, localism, parlance, regionalism.
I think a good example is Stephen King's use of "Ayuh". |

A much liked word:
"Luminosity"
base word: Luminous - middle English from Latin: Luminosus
one cool synonym is:
"Effulgence" - brief definition: Radiant Splendor
from Latin verb: fulgere - to shine.

Great words @notaro and Dizzy!
Notaro, I have always liked "discombobulated"!
For some reason it seems to always remind me of:
"Copecetic" (alternate spellings - Copesetic, Copasetic. according to Webster's collegiate dictionary.)
Brief definiton: satisfaction, fine good, alright, all right.
"...and his smile told him that everything was copacetic."
-Robert Bloch-
