Oh, I almost forgot serendipitously. It's almost impossible to say correctly the first time.

The "Grandiloquent Dictionary" is a cheat, but a fun cheat.

My new favorite word is "fustilug".

If we're allowed non-English words, it's a shoe-in

Spanish verb for a cat purring:

"Rronronear"

That reminds me - "Onamatopoeia"

But, but, but, WHY? It's such a wonderfully useful word, even if we did have to borrow it. Leave it to the Germans to have a word for such a sneaky emotion.

I often use the word basically. I also use the phrases "Endevor to perservere" and "Finest Kind" from OUTLAW JOSEY WALES and MASH respectivly.
Oh and because of work I use the words Civil War, Pratt St. Riot, Underground rail road and Guiness.
Speaking of Guiness Danalog and his girlfriend finally made it to the pub next to me. A nice time was had by all.

Mr. Snuffleupagus

Not sure why but I have been refering to him for years. My kids have no idea who he is but they know the name.

That counts...right?
