[Misty_Morning]

Marijuana, because it sounds like poetry.

Mota....also pretty good too.

 

[Oblimo]

Callipygian, because it's wonderful to have one word meaning "having a great ass" that's hard to spell.

Dichotomy, because I'd always be in a dilemma without it.

Iota, because I've no clue what the singular or plural of "iota" should be.

Chthonic, because it sounds creepy.

Most favorite of all: sixths, because it has four consonants in a row, more than any other English word.

 

[katestyle]

S does it for me

Succulent, sensuality, seduction - I love the S words.

feldmetelschnellenkoppler...I just wish I could use it in a story somewhere...

LMAO! I think we should set up a story challenge to see who can come up with the best story to contain this word! I have no idea what it means, but just to see it in a story would probably make me laugh so hard i'd fall off my chair and pass out.

Word of the week

In a time long ago, before Facebook, Twatter, and even as my granddaughter said to her mother, “what’s a video recorder?” I had to compose documents which had to be specifically worded and write many letters. For the benefit of younger readers letters were similar to emails but took a lot longer to reach the recipient. They were written on a piece of, now antique, piece of machinery which thankfully I never had to use.

I had a colleague who we all referred to as “word of the week man.”

Every week, or maybe two weeks, he would seize upon an out of the ordinary word and insert it in every letter he wrote. It was amazing how he managed to fit this word into a letter with which it had no connection to the subject matter whatsoever. Sadly, he passed away at too young an age but I still have this fond memory of him.

 

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

Splendid - a lovely, fat, succulent word that can only mean good things

Glisten - because it actually sounds like what it's describing, with an oily gleam all its own

Slither - Just saying it conjures up images of it slipping, serpent-like, off the tongue

Gleam - because saying it feels exactly like a sudden, bright sparkle

 

[mynameisben]

I'm rather fond of the word floccinaucinihilipilification, not solely because it is absurdly long, but because using it is, in itself, an overt example of floccinaucinihilipilification.

I also like the word noodle. There's just something about it that sounds so comical yet phonetically pleasing to my ear.

I have hundreds of "favorite" words, but the two above immediately leap to the fore. To be totally honest, I like ALL of the words, every last one of them. And choosing the right word for the exact shade of meaning I wish to convey has long been a passion of mine. You can say I am a true logophile.

Wriggle is Mine

Yes I also like the word Noodle seems to go well with Women also ....Because they both Wriggle when you eat them ,,,

One of my favorite words is discombobulated.

So...what's your favorite word or words? And why?

"Combobulated".

 

[Candy_Kane54]

"Combobulated".

onomatopoeia - I just love how it flows off of the tongue ....

 

[TadOverdon]

"Normality," a word that has not been spoken in my country since the late Cretaceous thanks to a half-educated public figure ages ago.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Really. No, Really.

Discombobulated, it just sounds so... discombobulated.

 

[TadOverdon]

A subset of this might be "words I find that I use too frequently in writing because I favor them in speech," or something.

"Actually" is an annoying personal tic of mine. I literally over-and-misuse it the way some people use "literally."

 

[yowser]

Puissant - sometimes see it, rarely hear it, love to write it.

 

[TadOverdon]

Has "insouciant" come up yet?
