What is your favorite word, for whatever reason? I'm working on a project and I want some words to incorporate. I'm not going to use swearing or anything crude, unless it's particularly striking I suppose. And no Nobby, I won't be using kumquat, haha.

I have a few myself...repine, lunar, elipse, hallowed...I'm sure there are others.

I know this would appear to be sandbox fodder, but if I ask over there, they'll say stuff like "kittens" and "moogle" and I want useful words.

So anyway, if you want to contribute, that would be great, and if not, GFY!

Insolence
Fiery
Misery
Chiaroscuro (never get to use this one though)

Too many others to list! What sort of project is it?

Pedantic. Cu[b][/b]nt. Encrusted. Flabberghast. Sanguine.

I've always been a big fan of ****. It seems rather pedantic, or even insipid (for Moe), but it just rolls of the tounge and it can be pretty demeaning if you think about it. If you call someone a ****, it's like you're insulting them by not even trying to come up with a more involved word. They're beneath your effort.

That and boobs. But boobs is great for so many reasons.

Strategery and hypnotheoretical you can never misunderestimate those kind of words.






Wow Brazil is big!!!

Are you a bit strange? Is that some sort of surreal joke? Courduroy isn't a colour.

Impetuous.

It's from a terrible children's joke. "What is Helen Keller's favorite color? Corduroy."

Aha, I see, I knew I must be missing something. Woosh.
