Your favorite word

Zoink · Post by **Zoink** » 2004-01-21 04:04pm

I don't really have a favourite, but I'm partial to "plethora".

I also like "be-" words like "bedraggle", "befuddle", "bedazzle", etc.

And I'm always looking for an opportunity to use "xebec", but its not often you see a small mediterranean vessel with both square and lateen sails

I can say it once, but very slowly.

Guinness Book of World Records... ?

An infection of the lung caused by the inhalation of fine silicon particles.. if I remember correctly.

I vaguely remember "flauccinaucinihilipilification" (sp?, the act of estimating something as worthless) as being their longest non-medical word in some dictionary. As in, "I shall put an end to your flauccinaucinihilipilification of Voyager!"

"Clusterfuck," "circlejerk," "gangbang."

Particularly useful for describing what every non-Georgia football team in the NCAA does in their spare time.

Schmeg... don't care if its real, I just like using it.

Fuck. But I hold a special place in my heart for oooorah, too.

Discombobulation

and it does not mean what certain sick minded people think.....

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-01-21 04:46pm

i'd almost forgot about discombobulation. a very fun word.

another of my personal favorite: droog. droog just has so much more sophistication than 'thug'.

Dartzap · Post by **Dartzap** » 2004-01-21 04:50pm

Droog? wheres that from?

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-01-21 04:54pm

you know not of clockwork orange! Blasphemy! >ahem< yes, from clockwork orange.

Andrew J. · Post by **Andrew J.** » 2004-01-21 04:54pm

I like words that begin with arch, like archenemy, archangel, and archetype, but my favorite is archnemesis. Nemesis is a cool enough word as it is, but add arch to it and it just becomes uber.

what the film which i only have seen once and hopefully will not see again if my life depends on it?

EDIT for message to make sense

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-01-21 05:16pm

eh, clockwork orange is typically considered excellent by a lotta peeps, myself included, though i can understand how some might not like it.

The Aliens · Post by **The Aliens** » 2004-01-21 05:48pm

Erm, my favourite word is probably 'hyperbole', or 'defensestration'. Both aren't used very often, but get good looks when you use them on people.

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2004-01-21 07:18pm

Tosser. I never use it, but it just conveys the meaning so perfectly. Virtually all of the other words are good too, though.

Tut, tut. You're just jealous that our players can speak English in complete understandable sentences.

Endoplasmic Reticullum. You can biobabble with it so nicely.

"Grr" and "Damnit." And "Shwee." Couldn't forget "Shwee."

Couple of my favorites.

I like alot of words, but the only one thats coming up for me right now is "Billabong", a pool of water created by a river when it overflows with rain. Ok, maybe it's austratlian.. whatever.
