I never knew what it was until recently. But I’ve realized that the word " ** vegetables **" is my favorite word. I like the way it looks, the way it sounds, and what it connotes. The singular is good, but the plural is great. I particularly love it when the syllables are all pronounced.
So what’s yours?
stoid
“Do you know what a plethora is, el Guapo?”
I’m sort of partial to beef steak.
I like juxtaposition - the ‘x’ makes the word sound almost onomatopoeic. I also like ricochet and chippery.
anathema
runner-up: volition
Ephemeral
Kinda says it all…
I’ve really enjoyed protocol lately.
I also like ricochet.
"Tactically".
I like ** “transpontine” ** but have never been able to use it in a sentence without sounding like a dick or using it wrongly.
Czechoslovakia.
Dunno why. Just one o’ them thangs.
I have also always been partial to “Tabernacle”
Sesquipedalianism
It means what it is.
Said. It’s a fantastic word.
Lobtailing. Flippering. Aviatrix.
Wainscotting. Wainscotting, wainscotting, wainscotting. Kind of a meaty word, don’t you think? Not tinny at all.
Nincompoop
Bromdingnagian (sp?). Bonus: if you misspell it or mispronounce it, almost no one is the wiser.
I dig Granular and Extrapolate. I’m also partial to Exacerbate and its other forms exacerbated and exacerbates. One of those words that sound somewhat dirty but is not. Must be the bate thing.
I have many. Discission is a current favorite (meaning–the process of getting a sharp needle stuck in your eye). Defenestrate is pretty close, too.
