Favorite Words

[MyOwnBestCritic]

Today, I'm feeling like "August" is a nice word. I like "Nine" and "Nose," too. They're kind of "orange" words, you know? I've noticed that my favorite words of the day all have the same "color" when I think of them.

I actually have two favorites "perpetual" and "resilience". I don't know why I like them. The first one is easy to use when writing poetry.  

[Mississippicat]

I like saying "meow," and squishy.  

[Mississippicat]

I mean't "squishy" (notice the quotation marks)  

[Niccea Majeare]

I like "hysteria" and "androgynous" today.  

[Silvermaiden]

I find that I like the word "particularly", as I tend to use it alot when I speak. Not particularly sure why, though. Just something about it that rolls off my tongue in certain situations.

Also.. Do you ever find yourself saying nonsense words at times just for the sake of saying something? Sometimes I go "oy" as in "oy vey" (not sure if that how it's spelled though).

More often than not though... I find myself saying "merf". I know it's not a real word or sound, but it's just something I started doing a long time ago. If all is quiet and noone is saying anything, I just go "merf" for no real reason. sweatdrop

I like saturnine (gloomy) and pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconeosis (a lung disease contracted by inhaling fine silica dust).

That word wins a place in one of my favourite words!

I also enjoy "panacea" (a mythical cure all) and vangabond (a wayward traveler), although plethora and superfluous are pretty high up, too.

Superfluous quantities wins favourite adjective and noun combination.  

[Elanchana]

But how quickly we forget
Such a sure and perfect plan,
And unlearn the passions that once had burned.

Inconspicuous. mrgreen

But how could I have seen?
What was I to do?
How could I know I would find you?

[Zen Bassist]

Moot.

As in, "That is a very moot point."  

[Aelanaar]

Actually, I am an avid roleplayer and I picked up the word "interesting" as my favorite. I say it all the time.  

[James Hetfeild II]

I actually have two!
-Chivalrous
-Rebellion

 

[Annikaya]

I've always liked "diaphanous," as in "Cinderella's dress was floaty, gauzy, or diaphanous."  

[Miakou]

Aibohphobia: Fear of aibohphones (sp?).

Androgyne is a great word, too.  

[Doppelgaanger]

I now also like the word "здавствуйте." Zdrastvuytye. It's hello in Russian.  

[inadequate_angel]

My favorite word right now begins with an "F", and probably shouldn't be typed out.

Why?

Midterms, and procrastination (which is also a rather fun word to say).
