What's your favorite word (and why)?

[RickShafer]

Say "cheese"!

 

[Shouryu]

at this moment it would be "cheese"

And at the following moment, "om nom nom nom." Yes, that's one word. Like hors d'oruve is one word.

(I actually did just eat a heaping bowl of cottage cheese. I did not make the noise, though.)

 

[Descyple]

One of my favorite words is "Typoe" - I just wish I knew how to spell it.

It can describe a visible aspect meaning something like glowing/ sparkling,
that something is beautiful, and that something is amazing

I love it because the first time I came across it was in a Dutch translation of Eat, Pray, Love
The author says she was once asked what she believed (faith- wise) and she replied:
"Ik geloof in een schitterend God" (I believe in a <beautiful / amazing > God ).

This just became my new favorite word!

Why? Being adopted I have come to learn my heritage is Dutch , I know nothing about the language but trying to learn ..
I also love glowsabd because it sparkles and well ..glows .. This word adds new meaning to my vocabulary. THANKS! ")

YES! I think that a lot when I read stuff! What were they thinking?????

 

[GRA]

Peumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Because its really long and fun to say. It's a disease you can get from inhaling vog from volcanos. ^__^

Or maybe just a sickness...

Is there a name for the sickness people have when their favorite word is a word like this one?

YES! I think that a lot when I read stuff! What were they thinking?????

"According to the Word - did not Adam name all of the animals...???"

 

[Jullianna]

I was thinking that earlier too.

 

[GreenNnice]

Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious .

Because it's cool, and, why not say it perfectly, or, perzactly describes our God

 

[ChristianGuy0]

For me, probably grace now that I think about it. Sums up what God has shown to me and offers.

I like "smarmy," because it sounds like what it means.

— smarm·i·ly adverb

Examples of SMARMY

• Yes, he's a smarmy know-it-all with the personality of a hall monitor, the kind of guy everyone hides from at a Christmas party. —Bill Simmons, ESPN, 2 Aug. 2004

lol - isn't that called onimonapia

 

[Jullianna]

I like onomatopoeia. It sounds a lot like om nom nom nom, Shouryu

 

[TyC113]

Mine is a toss up. I love the word Atonement for the Biblical meaning.

But I also love supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

 

[Descyple]

I was always fond of the word "Dislike" - oh wait, that would be a paradox! Forget I said that!!!

I always liked the word "Paradox"

 

[Jullianna]

I like dichotomy

 

[zeroturbulence]

I like dichotomy

Do you like it so much that you hate it?

Actually, that would be a paradox, but same difference.

 

[Jullianna]

"blasé" is stuck in my head now. It's arwen's fault.

 

[RickShafer]

Schmilp and Pilbit.
And sometimes Schmoops.

 

[seed_time_harvest]

i say it a lot.
