Do you have a favorite word?

from JoeUser Forums
You know - the kind of word that sticks in your head. But ones that aren't usually used in everyday conversation?

I heard my husband's favorite word on the news last night. It's not very common so It really stuck out. Malfeasance. He loves malfeasance, nonfeasance, and misfeasance. I like nonfeasance best myself.

My favorites are tabula rasa and the much more common macabre.

What's your favorite word?

oblivion - one of my favorite song lyrics - I want to put my tender heart in a blender and watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion rendevous and I'm through with you.

I like rendevous too. That's a good word.

tabula rasa?...Clean slate...psychology term...

Do I have a favorite word?...I do not believe it is the case for one such as myself...I partake of a plethora of linguistic choices. I am quite well versed in my readings of various tomes and parchments that I have discovered many a term that pleases me in some arbitrary function.

Now...imagine if I typed like that all the time...

Effloresce or deliquesce... I also like cunnilingus and verbose but I guess my favourite word is probably serendipity.
