Anywho - not something I've ever thought about. I shall have a think! I do have some words that make me cringe though - moist. Something about that word just sends shivers through me!

I thought it may have come across as me being a grump, but I'd never say something mean on here. OR if I did, it would only ever be in jest.

Anyhoo:

I can't think of a favorite, but I can definitely think of LEAST favorite.. moist is definitely up there, but I would have to say 'crestfallen' is my least favorite cause its just so damn depressing. Everything that word means just makes me so sad... its like when no one shows up to your birthday party!

I'll have to think on favorites though, I know I have some... ;)

I think about this a lot. I love words more than most other things in life.

As with all my other 'favourites', they are prone to change. My current favourites are

Mollusc.
Hillock.
Rudimentary.
Cranium.
Impudent.
Bilious.
Tripe.
What, that? It's a spade.

I love words too!

At the moment I like:
Chiaroscuro
Antebellum
Cosmonaut
Hordeolum
Serpentine
Deliberation

Hordeolum is a new one I just discovered today. I woke up with a really irritating stye in my right eye - a hordeolum is the 'proper' word for a stye. I just like the SOUND of the word, it sounds like it should belong to an old-fashioned musical instrument - not an annoying eye infection!

At the moment I am loving superfluous. I just love how it rolls off the tongue :D

I have always love the word archaic and the images it conjours up. Tom's favourite word ever is liminal. He uses it every chance that he gets.

My OH refused to believe it was a real word when we first start going out, he thought I'd just made it up.
I had to look it up in the dictionary to prove it to him!

It is a lovely word; lots of really satisfying syllables and somehow describes exactly what it means. It is spelt discombobulated though.

100% agreed. Still, I'd rather say I had a hordeolum than a stye.

Dyslogistic - I love "Dys" words anyway, but this is a favourite.
Adoxography - I feel I do this for a living :P
Autotonsorialist - kinda fitting for this board.
Nepheligenous - guilty as charged!
Tibialoconcupiscent - learned this from a fetish mag of all places, it just sounds as naughty as it is!
Gymnophoria - I get this all the time. Probably because I am vain.

:shock: Bloody wow at your 4 year old being able to say that! I have trouble pronouncing that!

One of my favourite words isn't quite as eloquent as everyone elses;

Citrussy :) It just has some sort of fizzy feeling about it :lol:
