    Question What is your favourite word?

    Is there a word that makes you tingle or grin? In short, have you a word that you love to hear or read? If so post here and tell me what it is and why you like it so much!

    I can't help using the word 'juxtapose' when talking about things.

    cumberbund(cummerbund)- Junior is going to a "ball" and I keep asking if he's going to have to wear one. He's not sure what "it" is. He askes if it's like a girdle ( 'nother great word) Haha. I explained, and he asked if it was like that thing that Tom of "Tom and Gerry"(cartoon) wears, sometimes. It's like the bib-front of a dress shirt, and it keeps rolling up and smacking Tom in the face. Cumberbund just strikes me as an awful word, that no one should be forced to use.

    There are others of course, but to post them here would break WF's Rules.

    Not sure why, but I have to cram it into any essay I ever write.

    Would that be chocolate cake??

    It may seem a bit lame but I love the word serendipity. Serendipitous is even better. Serendipitously too. Love the word as it makes me feel is good and smiley inside. I like what is stands for. (I like the film too).

    Heroin. Or heroine, if you prefer.

    For reasons unknown, I just love the way it sounds, and the way the muscles of your mouth move when you say it.
