What’s your favorite word? The word that no matter when you hear it, makes you smile for some reason? A word that you greatly enjoy using?
My favorite word is “clever”. My Grandma Stokes always uses it. Usually when describing herself. For some reason, I find it incredibly endearing.
It’s sorta funny that my least favorite word is the one my Grandma Wardles uses: ignorant.
My favourite is “dodgy,” UK slang for “not quite on the level.” My indiscriminate use of it when I was living in Toronto led some of my friends to call me “Mr. Dodgy.” That would be a great nickname for an East End gangster, ¿no?
I don’t know how to explain what snark is, really. It’s a guitar tone. Musicians know what it is, and I know it when I hear it. It’s just a fun word, and it rhymes with “quark,” which I wholeheartedly agree with matt about–that’s a darn fun word to say!
I have so many (I’m a big fan of words). Here’s a few:
Ridiculous (I love this word; great for all occasions)
Marginal
Purple
Dude (I use it all the time; yeah, I know, but it’s the word with a 1000 meanings :))
Shimmering (part of a great phrase that I came up with: Sweet Shimmering Sheep Shit!)
Fuck (a very interesting word; it can be used to hurt, but can also be hilarious, and it has so many combinations)
Shit (same reason as fuck)
Poop (just a funny kiddie word)
Classy
Sass
Trainspotting (I know, it’s a movie, but the word if you’re “trainspotting”, it’s slang for doing nothing)
Lunchbox
Boobies (just a funny word)
Berserker
Bitch (I don’t like it when it’s used to hurt people’s feelings, but it can be hilarious)
Lung Rockets (great slang for cigarettes; too bad I don’t smoke)
Samurai
Ass
Bollocks
Station
Well, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. It’s a fairly eclectic list, I know. I have more, and I know that I’ll think of them as soon as I post.
