Vote for the best word (for it's meaning)

What is the best word, in your opinion, Not for how it sounds or what letters it uses or anything else other than purely for what it means

My vote goes to ‘enlightened’

My favorite such word is callipygous.

It is used to describe a woman who possesses a very nicely shaped derriere.

FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION - it means something that is tottally and utterley without value…

and its really long and sounds cool.

Pus is the best word for what it means.
No other word would be as descriptive of that product.
Some words are like art, they stimulate senses other than what you use to read the word.
Pus; you can practically smell it. The slipperyness is revealed through simple vowels and consonents. Without even mentioning color there is a certain vividness of infection.
Maybe infection is the best word for what it means…

My husband and I are fond of the word faucine, another onomatopoeic word, very sleek, yet round feeling in the mouth as the word suggests itself.

But a word which is favourite just for what it means?
I suppose that would be “happiness” or “copraphagia.”

I have always thought the most evocative word in English is tintinnabulation, the ringing of bells.

Shit. Because it’s extremely versatile and it can mean a lot in so many different contexts.

Tolerance.

Subtle

Oubliette!!!

I LOVE THAT WORD!!!
HUZZAH!!!

Sanguine comes in a very CLOSE second!

Defenestration. The act of throwing someone or something out a window.

What a wonderful coupling of words

I’m envisioning an inspirational poster or greeting card that pictures cute little puppies with the message:
Happiness is Copraphagia

amorous :wink:

“cornucopia” and “plethora” especially if used in the same sentence as my name, and the word money.

Yeah, like that’d ever happen! Hehheh.

Buzz.

Dang! Someone beat me to my choice, “defenestration.”

So I guess I’ll go with Schadenfreude, even though I may be spelling it wrong.

Tofu and squid are two food that taste exactly like they sound.

I love puce. Both the word and the meaning.

I love the word flutterby I don’t care what anybody says they are flutterbys not butterflys.

‘food’ and ‘beer’

(It ought to be said that I don’t remember posting this thread)

yes

a more positive word you’ll never find
