How about two words that use the letters: L Q in order within them? In that I am going to Sterling, Va. to my sisters place for the usual hoopla, I will not be back until late tomorrow, so you all behave yourselves or don't get caught!!

How about Laquacious, and i wouldn't know another one. Hoopla is such a good word, almost as good as haberdasher.

The other word would be soliloquy.

Ladies, in the words the l is right next to the q, before it as the previous letter.

I am back at the home puter and your hints are: 1. You only need one of these one time during yourlife. 2. Enjoy the taste.~~

The correct words, that use L and then Q next to each other and in order are: 1. catafalque - a rolling cart used to transport a casket to a herst. 2. pulque - a ferminted drink made from fruit.

So if you drink too much pulque and drive, you may need a catafalque!
