No offense, but being a computer type, you made me LOL. Again, no disrespect intended and thanks for the giggle

Oh, yes. I like schism. And as an added bonus, it's an awesome Tool track as well

EDIT: Yah Calvin & Hobbes!!!

I've always been partial to Pinochle.
And Whittle.
Also Spondulicks.

I've always been partial to "perspicacity". You know you're a nerd when one of your favorite words get used on a Star Trek episode, and you get a giant giggle out of it.

AND, also, for those Heinlein fans out there:
floccinaucinihilipilificator

(yes, it's a real word, I've looked it up in the OED back in my college days).

Fun thread . Hmmmm. It's hard to come up with these out of the blue. That said...

dude
misanthrope
sluggard
squiggly
copacetic
cool
platypus
leporine (actually, pretty much any of the equine, ovine, leonine, bovine, etc. type of words)
anthropomorphic
eh

And a bunch more that aren't jumping into my cranial orb.

Wow! What inspired choices! I can't believe I didn't put copacetic, alacrity, or smock! Smock, Smock, Smock! Of course, thatweirdgirl had to choose one that hasn't been used in conversation since the 20s, but hey, most of the ones I picked don't end up in conversations at all.
And, people are picking ones based on how they sound, and not what they mean. Well, I advise everyone to look up the word Smegma before adding it to the list.

Hey...here are some more: Dystopian, Dander, Melanin, Equus, Grievious, Italiano (that's for Jamie Lee Curtis in "A Fish Called Wanda"), Halloween, Baboon, Cycle (as a verb), Disingenuous, Malefactor, Viscous, Pizazz, Effluency, etc...
Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say words are good!

Apothecary to me these collection of letters epitomises the very meaning of the word. A perfect blend of letters and meaning.

Also a little self centred here but Somnambulist - I just love latin words incorporated into English. It allows you to make up words like : Footsplattambulat - meaning to walk :)

Old words rarely used are very appealing too:

Sciomancy, Necromancer, Hugger Mugger and Soothsayer.

And I always loved the delicate sound ofWraiths

sure, pick me out of the long list of word smiths....I only had one word. At least my word means the same happy thing as it looks to mean....unlike smegma, ick.

I also like 'jeepers', 'golly', 'gnarly'.

Hey buddy, we didn't chastise you for your word choice, so I (we) would thank you not to do it to us.
