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.

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'.

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. :D

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

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.

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.

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.
