YAM and PANTALOON are my favourite words. I also like spelling words like “favourite” and “colour” with the British u. Is there a word for that?
I like YAM and PANTALOON because both are happy words - by the time you finish saying either one, your mouth is already halfway to a smile, so you might as well finish smiling. Plus, the words themself are so great - I mean, a yam? What is that?! It could be so many other things besides an orange tuber.
Love
Sneeze, who yam what she yam

Facetious
Just because I like the sounds of them. 
Fustigate and deliquescence.
The one sounds jolly and the other sounds salacious. They aren’t.
Mmmmm don’t have a positive favorite ONE at the moment…but I shall muse.
Bushbaby!!! - It counts when you say it as a single word!!! Yesss and you have to say it aloud in a babyish manner…it’s impossible not to smile.
Tapioca - I no know. I don’t even really like the pudding.
Yes those might be my favorites.
“A-one” because sooooo many things in life ARE a-one: saskatchewan, jiffy peanut butter, that guy who ALWAYS falls asleep in class.
tintinnabulation.
Because it fits its meaning so well.
Look it up.
Slather
I almost said this one. I used to love this word when I was in elementary school. I guess I thought I was “cool” because I knew how to spell it when I was in first grade.
And I used to wonder how I got labeled as a “geek.” :rolleyes:
Schweppervescence* - because nothing refreshes like Schweppervescence!
*[sub] I can’t believe I spelled that one right on the first try.[/sub]
Ever since I found out that the root word is Fascinum, referring (if you go back far enough…) to an ancient wizard who had a penis for a head. That’s right, the original, quintesential dickhead. (used to be able to put spells over people by use of his cute little charm…)
Its become the perfect code word at work. Only a few of us know the reason, and if you look it up in a standard dictionary you still don’t get the whole story.
So next time you hear someone tell you your plan is fascinating, think twice.
If I’m pissed at someone, I call them a dickwipe (gross, I know, but it works quite well). In general conversation I like shiznit, or even fiznuckin’, only because it slows people down when you say it that way.
too hard to pick an absolute fav, but “bollocks” and “shite” (pronounced with long I sound) are right up there! they can be used for so many things! “Bollocks to you, mate” “she thinks shes the bees bollocks” or simply, “BOLLOCKS!”. “Oh, shite!”, “what the hell is this shite?”, “this tastes like shite!”
“diabolical” is another good one! very descriptive. “oh, man! that spicy tuna roll was diabolical!”, “i cant watch this shitty sitcom. its diabolical.”
can’t tell you another one, its my password for all my online shit!
I’ll second that one on Bastards. Those bastards try to censor us.
Puce. Puce, puce, puce, puce, puce. Love the word; love what it means. Look it up.
I almost went with “pucegoddess” as my Doper name.
I like “toast,” but only when my sweetie says it in his adorable Yorkshire accent. Somehow he pronounces both the o and the a—sort of toAst. Gets me every time.
“mellifluous”
Because it sounds so, er…
“cunnilingus” ain’t bad either, although I rarely get to say it, much less do it.
Astonishing.
Oh, and Grace, in regards to:
I was walking my dog (also named Grace, oddly enough) and she was startled by rounding a corner and seeing a large object deposited by the curb. She started barking.
Without thinking, I said “Get it, Gracie! It’s a Futon! From the planet Fu!”
Crack myself up, I do.
Crapulence, mauve (pronounced ‘move’, with long O), thwap, any word beginning with ‘wr’ or ‘thr’. I like ‘wr’ coumpound because they remind me of rustic medieval scenes, and ‘thr’ compounds are the few compounds that I can get away with rolling my ‘r’. I’ve always loved zed, too - it reminds me of some comic-book supervillain.
I also am amused by futon - I think “fire futon torpedoes” whenever it’s uttered.
