My favorite would indubitably be “indubitably.” Another that is fun to say, not for intrinsic reasons but by reference to a well know film is “inconceivable.” Who will be the first to identify the flick? I always find myself lapsing into a weak Wallace Shawn imitation. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by horhay\_achoa \* > \*\*cake > ass > poop \*\* I opened this thread with the intention of suggesting “cake.” In fact, I’ve thought of starting a thread on the greatness of the word “cake.” Say it. Say it again. It truly fills your mouth. A friend of mine once told me that if you were very hungry, all you would have to do is say the word and you wouldn’t be hungry any more. Pretty powerful, I say. ---
