So what is your favorite word? You might like the meaning, the origin, or the way it sounds. I don't really care, it can be any reason.

Personally, I like PERIWINKLE. It almost sounds like something a 3 year old would named their stuffed animal.

Periwinkle reminds me of 'Snatch'. "And remember boys. Periwinkle blue."

My favorite word is myopic. I'm convinced that it got me a college scholarship. Don't ask.

I don't know if it's my favorite word, but the first word to pop up in my head when I read your post was "fuck".

I like the sound of words like crispy and crayon, also I really HATE the word belly, every time I hear it I think of belly of pork all gross and full of fat, and I feel like chucking up. Nice.

I catch myself saying "perfect" too much.

"That package should be there tomorrow"
"Perfect!"

I really need to cut down. Perfect would be if it were in my hands today.

Not so much for the word, as for my reaction when I found out what it meant.

1 - I hope Merkin didn't know what it meant when he/she rolled.

2 - WHY WHY WHY would you ever need or want one???

I think I created a monster mentioning that word, okay how it was explained to me was that back in whatever day those were *cough* popular, a lot of healthy pubic hair was a sign of good health due to all the diseases and crap back then, so those who didn't, faked it.

(I had to ask WHY? too)

LOL yep, monster indeed.
Being tan used to be a sign of not being an aristocrat. It showed that you had to <gasp> work outside for a living.
And now women go to salons to get shapes done. Whoda thought.

I don't have a favorite word per se but I am rather fond of puns. One word I like the meaning of is 'spathic'. I blame Spider Robinson for introducing me to that word and its usage.

Such as saying to a woman "You are spathic."

Spathic a geological term meaning 'having good cleavage'.

Oh snap! I was going to say "cunty"!!!!! I use that word a lot. When I see a guy with nice eyebrows, I say to my best friend, "He looks cunty, he's prolly in the closet."
