I don't know how to start this by saying anything other than I'm curious what everyone's favorite words are!! I think favorite words are really cool and are a great way to get to know people. My fav word is superlunary - 'belonging to a higher world, celestial'. I think it's a really fun and beautiful word and concept!
So, what's your favorite word?

If your talking uncommon words... I would say "Indigenous". Just sounds cool.

kerfuffle

It really makes a squabble over something seem silly, which it often is.

Like Kirbert, my daughter uses "defenestration" at every appropriate opportunity. Which actually is more often than one would expect.

For me... Omphaloskepsis. It's a way of life.

I was a Spanish teacher for 19 years, so many of the words that I like just because of how they sound are Spanish - like aguacate (ah- gua - cah - tay) which means avocado and vergüenza (vair - gwen - sa) which means shame and cacahuete (ca - ca - hoo - eh - tay) which means peanut. There's your Spanish lesson for the day, everyone! ;)

I'm still pondering my favorite English word but I always liked pelirroja in Spanish :)

On another message board I frequent a member uses the name GatoPescado. I’ve looked at it for years but only recently got it.

Today? Philtrum. For nose good reason. My dad calls it a "snot trough," which is also excellent.
