Words you LOVE

Guffaw and chortle. Always makes me do it when I hear it.

Ugh! Dragonfly beat me to my favorite...impervious! And conniption.

Great thread Ali!

What about supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: any quality that is so indescribable that you have no real word to say it with

Other than that I really like:
lovely
absolutely
serendipity: an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident
giving
sharing
joy
laughter

Most of these lists include a lot of positive words, but I also think some words with negative connotations are really great words too. They''re words I "love" not because I like what they mean, but because they''re so powerful to use. So here they are...

Annihilate
Despair - because few other words convey the emotional connotation as this does...it just sounds like what it means.
Retching
Loathe
Exsanguinate
Famine

And to lighten things up again...
Discombobulated!!! I don''t even know if I''m spelling that right. I just used this in another thread and it reminded me of how fun it is.
Cumbersome - whenever I say this, everyone always says "wow, that''s such a great word!"

HI:

My 15 year old used "derisive" properly (within context) in a sentence the other day, and I secretly pumped my fist.....gosh I love that word!

cheers--Sharon

Taradiddle - just love that word!

Whilst - seems quintessentially English. Like me!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Yes folks, it''s a real word - albeit a Welsh one. Welsh railway station with longest name

I''m going to admit that I''m weird upfront.

Gesticulation. My 11th grade AP biology teacher would make constant hand gesticuations. We would crack up.
