And why?

Areola

 

Because it's fun to say and a funny thing and inappropriate in most situations

Flabbergasted.

Self explanatory.

 

Also halcyon, mellifluous, and hubris. Mostly because they're cool words.

Don't answer your own questions. >:(

 

I like the word 'silly'. It is a very captivating word that grasps my attention instantly.

Cellar Door.

 

I have no idea.

Turd is one I appreciate

I do enjoy Turd

I don't have a favourite English word although I really like cute.

 

Fingerspitzengefühl is my favourite German word.

(there isn't a really good Dutch translation for that word so we just use fingerspitzengefühl)

knickers

This. :nod:

The :angry: icon in the thread title made me think this was a Yossi thread.

 

I can't pick a favorite, but a couple that I like "fubar" and "kerfuffle".

POW, because is pow-ish

Phantasmorgic

 

Or, if we're counting words that may or may not be real, Wittify :awesome:

Contrails

I like the C-word that you're not allowed to say to ladies

 

Even though Chaucer used it all the time but whatever~

soiled

I like bumblebee too

I like the C-word that you're not allowed to say to ladies

****

****

:(

Spatula, because it combines some odd sounds, and "tub nugget" even though that doesn't mean anything.

Mitigating.

I'm sure it has something to do with Peter Gabriel lyrics.

 

Incendiary is also a great word. And I like to think I'm a lady, and I have no problem with the c- word.

****

 

Damn it

I like the C-word that you're not allowed to say to ladies

And I like to think I'm a lady, and I have no problem with the c- word.

I don't mind it either. Actually it has become my nickname on my coed softball team, due to a misunderstood statement a couple of years ago. They call me "Carrie 'with a C'" because there is another girl named Kerry so they say 'with a C' to clarify who they are referring to whilst cheering, and one time someone said 'with a C' while someone else told me to bunt, and another person thought the two of them were telling me to "bunt 'with a C'", and then the ensuing nickname (d)evolved from there.

 

I think it has more negative connotations across the pond than it does over here.

^Haha, awesome anecdote.

 

I think my favourite French word is 'parfait' because of the way it's written and pronounced, but I'm sure there are lots of other French words that I like as well.

 

As for an English word? Hmmmm. I can't decide and I'll have to have a think.

My favorite Olde English word is queynte

 

Here is an exceerpt from Chaucer's "The Wife of Bath's Tale" from The Canterbury Tales.

 

For certeyn, olde dotard, by your leave/You shall have queynte right enough at eve ... What aileth you to grouche thus and groan?/Is it for ye would have my queynte alone?

 

Over time, "queynte" evolved into what we know in modern English as "****"

 

You shall have queynte at eve :angry:

I don't think I have a favourite word. I'll think about it, but when it comes to pick one favourite thing I usually fail. It's hard to choose!
