Do any of you have a favorite word? My favorite word changes every week. This week the word that I adore is, "melancholy."

One of my favorite words has to be onomatopoeia. It is just fun to say. 3nodding I also rather enjoy the word wonky just for kicks and giggles.

I like defenestrate (to throw someone/something out a window)
I have been fond of the word parsimonious (excessively cheap) in the past as well.
I also like the word that means "fear of long words," but I don't want to make an a** of myself trying to spill it out. I can't even pronounce it right. I just call it "Hippo-da-da-something-something-phobia." Maybe someone can be nice to me and give the pronunciation?

Hippo-poto-monstro-esquip-pedali-o-phobia. It is easier to say if you look at the different word parts and such.

Hippo-poto-monstro-esquip-pedali-o-phobia. It is easier to say if you look at the different word parts and such. That isn't right. I think that's more of a prank than anything. I mean, what does the fwear of long words have anything to do with horses? Wikipedia Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia — fear of long words. Hippopoto- "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, hippopotamine has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear" Yep.

Yes I know the word is used in sarcasm I had a friend translate it before, but it is still a fun word if you can ever use it.

Probably true, though you have to consider the amount of things that start out as a practical joke and then end up to be considered true because too many people took the joke seriously. Besides, it is more fun to use the word because it's so ironic. Not that there are many instances where that world will ever enter into normal conversation....Entertaining to try though...I now have a new goal for tomorrow!
