What's your favorite word and why?

[Fifty]

No joke posts allowed! Especially joke posts made specifically because I forbade joke posts.

Mine is austere, and its my favorite because I want it to describe me.

For the love of god please make this work as a thread, I desperately do not want it to be closed.

 

[bhsup]

Hallmark. With one simple word, you convey excellence unrivaled. The standard of standards.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

"Audacious." Because I respect what it is.

...or...

"Phronesis" because it is what I aspire to achieve.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia was the first to come to mind.

 

[hossam]

"indeed"

ive never actually used this word, but i like it.

 

[kulade]

serendipity

 

[History buff33]

Existance. I don't know why. Just always thought it was a cool word.

 

[Theige]

Incognito.

Just because

 

[Kraznaya]

Salient.

 

[DMOC]

Civilization

It's the title of a computer game I play, some of you guys might know.

I don't know why.

In before "cellar door"

I'm fond of the name "Allison". I have no idea why.

niggardly is elfin great

 

[Birdjaguar]

There are too many to choose just one.

I like "rambunctious" "excelsior" "bosom" and "spontaneous" tonight. I like words that are fun to say and in saying them leave room for gestures and emphasis.

Nice thread fifty.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Salient.

That's a good one.

By the way this thread reminds me of this Monty Python sketch.

 

[Phrossack]

Ah, that was a splendid sketch! I like succulent, defenestration, cataphract, gubernatorial, and sassafrass, among others. They just sound good, except for defenestration, which is just fun because of its definition.

 

[kulade]

oh, i forgot invaginate.

 

[pop daddy]

Eschatological ... because it is until it is not.

 

[Japanrocks12]

Probably disingenuous or sycophant, because I love calling people those words in argumentation.

 

[Annex]

Defenestration.

No explanation needed.
