I love the idea for this list, it's sort of like a calligramme. Don't abandon it!

How about sereneness (or serene), undulate and fidgety? They're on my Reflexive list along with a few others because the pattern of their letters above or below the line.

PEAK, if you turn the page 90 degrees to right, looks like a tallish guy with a peaked cap that is turned sideways, rapper-style. He even has 2 little legs poking out from under his baggy trousers.

hehe no problem arcadia, i really like your list (now one of my favorites)
Keep these suggestions coming, they are all really amusing, even the ones that are too much of a stretch to actually appear in this list. Basically, if you have to explain how the word applies to my heading, it probably doesn't. That being said, I'm still loving the "two giraffes in the horizon", and happy to have it as a comment. And "wienerdog" goes in because, common, how often does one get to use that term?
hey did anyone see the new logo for the olympics 2012??? is it just me going nuts or can you also see marge simpson blowing a dude?

two citybirds (the dots)

wienerdog (layingdown with raised ears and his tail in front of the little guy at the end)
feet (pointing toward each other)
four (having four letters)?
The capital I kind of stands out like a proud individual, even calling to mind a torso with (stubby) limbs. Of course, Wordie makes everything lowercase so the effect is slightly lost, though the dot makes a keen neckless head.
I think eye kind of matches the meaning because it has something that resembles an ocular apparatus on each side (with a bag underneath, which is unkindly realistic) and a sort of dribbly nose in the middle (ok, ok, it's winter where I am now). So I can see a face with the eyes to the left and right. Perhaps I'm a mangosteen.
What a neat idea!
Jeez--you're right, U. "Word" looks exactly like...ummm...word.
Hmm, how about word? ;-)
"Loop" looks pretty loopy when written in cursive.
Someday you'll have to explain "boob" to me...
skipvia, I should have been more specific, maybe. I'm looking for words that make a little picture of the meaning. Loop has the loops IN it, but doesn't resemble one in it's totality. Just like "boob".
I realized that "gun" works better with certain fonts, too, which is limiting.
Thanks, though.
Curl?
How about loop?
nice!
