Below is a list of some of my favorite words...In keeping with some of the other posts going around, I thought I would ask some of my fellow browncoats what some of their favorite words were too...

Megalomaniacal
Imbroglio
Angelic
Pfefferminze (whoops...i mean PEZ)
Apparition
Nougat
Sadomasichistic
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Schmuck
Mesoamerican
Whim
Vanglorious
Mystery
Passport (in deference to one of my favorite movies Sneakers)
Maw
Methylethylisothiazolinone
Pulp
and, in a new entry Serenity.

And, many, many others too numerous to name!

Before I go, I have to say, I love my Browncoats! Everyday I come to this site, and I can't believe what's been done for us, and by us. Thank you all!

This could possibly be the oddest post I've seen on this site, ever, bar none...

That being said, I've always liked "Cryptography" despite having later learned that it has nothing to do with the Undead...

I also like 'Alas'.

My favorite word has always been "Sinister."

I don't think it strange at all to have a favorite word. Wonder what that says about me? Don't answer that either!

my all time favorite is velleity

Ogden Nash even wrote a poem
(unfortunately I can't find the whole poem...)

Quote:

Seated one day at the dictionary I was pretty weary and also pretty ill at ease,
Because a word I had always liked turned out not to be a word at all, and suddenly I found myself among the v's.
And suddenly among the v's I came across a new word which was a word called velleity,
So the new word I found was better than the old word I lost, for which I thank my tutelary deity.

(from—I'm a Stranger Here Myself, 1938)

I like dyspnea. (Not the meaning, just the word.)

Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.

Omphaloskepsis-the spelling may be off, I learned it in 11th grade english, 9 years ago. Means the act of studying one's bellybutton. No, I didn't make it up.

alacrity-just saying fast is so boring

antidisestablishmentarianism-the only good thing about the movie "SLC Punk" was this word, painted on their van. Weren't even any good punk bands.

anon

forte-pronounced "FORT". "Fort-a" is italian for loud. "Fort" is french for strength. I'll fight this one to my grave.

philology-just a coincedence
