Currently, mine is knavery.
Not sure if it was on here or some other website, but: miasma.
It cahnges frequently but currently it's interiority.
It's Fuck.
I'm sorry, it's crass, it sounds like a smartass answer, but my favorite word has been Fuck for a long time now. It's so damn versatile, and in the right crowd it's like running around with a shotgun in your hands.
I love all words, and I would like to use every fucking one of them, you shouldn't over-fucking-do the F bomb, but I love typing that fucking word.
Fuck is always in my top two. It's the word that occupies the majority of my spoken vocabulary.
Fuck, followed closely by cunt. I love both words.
I think cunt is beautiful. The hard 'keh' sound followed by a sensual 'uhhhh'. Then the almost-stop on 'en'. Ended with another, harsh sound - "T". KehuhhhhenT.
And it's also my favorite body part, food, hand-warmer, and condiment.
Archipelago. It's fun to say and it sounds awesome!
I like glomp and discombobulate for verbs. Fuck's pretty awesome too. Shrove, Pimlico and habidashery are the best nouns in existance.
@bryan... condiment? :curls into a ball and cries:
We get it, Bryan, you love to eat pussy lol Remember, there are ladies present ;p
Mine is fuck for the win but I also like the word macabre or surreal.
@Patch--hey, where have you been? long time, no post.
Crepuscular, then fuck, then dick.
SPRY
Suck on that, motherfuckers.
Here we are deluged in lechery! A spirited symposium on lascivious locution.
Sesquipedalian. I love how it rolls off the tongue, and the fact that it is what it means.
Fuck is a right swell word, too.
Just did an article that pertains to this.
Go over and check out the 2011 Words of the Year.
Fuck
c u n t .
niggard.
Turgid.
'Necrotic' was one I came across recently. Aching to use it in my new WIP.
Favorite word in general? Tie between plethora (I just LOVE that word) and cuntasaurus.
Favorite word to use in writing? Hmm. Tough. Husband did point out that I seem to be fond of "puke".
I love plethora too. And strumpet. Lubricious strumpet.
Mechanism. Such a great word!
Imbroglio.
in a sentence - "Fuck", I said, "this is quite an imbroglio."
spittoon, pantaloon, cartoon - aloud, you can't beat the "-oon"
architectonics and chirrugueresque - I learned those at school.
Chirrugueresque is a helluva word.
@Renee cuntasaurus? D:
also, piquant, obfusculent and plumbago. My favourite german word is "wanken" meaning to stroll, or "Oberammergaueralpenkrauterdelikatessenfruhstuckskase" which means a Mountain herb breakfast deli cheese from Oberammergau.
German words are so blunt. They definitely don't put any effort into honey coating.
Case in point: Bumpsen (Boomp-sin). Now if that isn't a dry and straight-forward term for intercourse, then I don't know what is.
@postpomo: Sounds like you might have an Art or Architecture background?
How about necrogasm?
Urban Dictionary: necrogasm
The act of inducing death while having an orgasm. ... 1. necrogasm The act of inducing death while having an orgasm. The singer from INXS had a necrogasm.
To write? Innards. Something about the word partnered with a sensation or an action or a feeling, I don't know. it packs a punch.
Also words that remind me of their action. Crunch, smack, swivel, cacophany--great words.
The word I say most often is awesome, because I talk about myself a lot.
Other than that? Piss. Such a good word.
@Typewriter--yeah! Cuntasaurus. When someone is a cunt of prehistoric proportions.Variation: Cuntasauraus Rex.
@Chester--I just love German. Love it. I am actually going to try and learn the language a little better than I did when I originally took it on. Their words are either straight forward as you can get, or these massive words that capture all those things we can't describe in English without a paragraph of explanation.
Pejoration. My favorite English word is Pejoration. So reassuring.
Favorite Italian is Bovindo.
Favorite Dutch is Kwalle.
Spanish: Puñetazo.
Portuguese: Comboio.
French: Le Dindon.
German: Fliegenklatsche Pistol.
@Chester Pane - no, I learned those two in a 20th Century British Literature course.
Remember writing down lots of juicy ones while reading Perdido Street Station but the only one I can remember is morbific
I like phlegm because there's no way to know how to spell or pronounce it unless someone tells you - it retains the oral tradition in its viscous elusion.
I like phlegm because there's no way to know how to spell or pronounce it unless someone tells you - it retains the oral tradition in its viscous elusion.
I hate the word "phlegm" but I enjoy this sentence. Viscous elusion.
Which reminds me, my favorite word might be eloquence.
I never decided on a favorite but I like words like this: glaciation, plaistocene, frailty (and cruelty), seismic, mellifluous, flailing, clay, snail. Maybe I like vowels a lot, especially in combination? I guess I like liquid words, flowing words (the "l" with vowels helps that). No idea really.
@Renee, oh i thought it was referring to the body part, not the owner.
That would be terrifying.
Favorite word? How about a word I hate: Photosynthesis. Just something about it. I think because I hated learning about it in middle school.
It also has nothing to do with photos.
For its meaning, not sound, I love "abyss." And anything else deep and mysterious: cosmic, oceanic, galactic, geologic, techtonic. I love sweeping, shattering words.
I also really have a thing for "gnashing", the sound and the meaning. Fucking great word.
Oh! early 20th century slang for drunk is the excellent adjective, "SQUIFFY" HOW FUCKING AWESOME?
I love "Schlitzed" for drunk, although I've never had a Schlitz. "Hoegaardened" just doesn't have the same ring.
Alchemy
"Salacious" is a pretty delicious word.
Oh, and "asshat." I use it daily.
Squiffy!
Sometimes I get Schlitzed on Hoegaarden and turn into a squiffy ass-hat.
@Chester, me too!
i really enjoy the word photosynthesis, but it's hard to use in a sentence outside of a 7th grade science lab.
Tits because I like tits. Pussy because i like pussy. Ass because I like ass. Pedophile because I like these things on a fifteen year old.
lethologica
Roughshod.
Maguffin.
@Bradley - lethologica - nice one. Now I have a word for my, uh, what do you callit.. thingy.
ignivorous - if I can find a context in which to use this, by gum I will... I think it requires overproof rum.
