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.

Don't know but it should be Gatopescado just because it's fun to say!

You don't want to know my favorite English word, because it's not nice. But my favorite Spanish words are miercoles (me-air-co-lays) which is Wednesday; and biblioteca (bib-Lee-oh-take-uh) who c h is library.

Penultimate

A group of 4 of us letterboxing in Chicago ran across that word in a clue many years ago. Fun times! Thanks for conjuring up that memory!

Ginormous. I thought my daughter made this word up years ago, but I see it in the online dictionary.

I was just going to post "inane" and saw your comment! I also thought my son invented "ginormous". We use it all the time because it annoys my daughter.
