Mine’s serendipity.

I love how complicated it sounds on your tongue & the meaning of it.

What’s yours?

I opened your post intending to reply with serendipity😀!

Marvellous 😀

Stookie, (plaster cast) a good Scottish word

Principality

MoonWoman69 · 05/02/2024 18:24

At the moment, the C word!!! But I absolutely love the word crisp! Just something about the way it rolls off the tongue and sounds like the actual word when it's said, if you get what I mean!

Disingenuous.

Although clusterfuck is a close second.

Probably because it sums up my housework efforts 🤣

Uncharacteristically

LauderSyme · 05/02/2024 18:46

Ephemeral is one of mine.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is good for when you need a really long word.

StoatofDisarray · 05/02/2024 18:46

Mellifluous:-)

MermaidProject · 05/02/2024 18:47

Vestigially.

Lifebeganat50 · 05/02/2024 18:47

Fuck. I use it like punctuation 😳

Errolwasahero · 05/02/2024 18:48

Onomatopoeia

Luna42 · 05/02/2024 18:48

Caterpillar

Errolwasahero · 05/02/2024 18:48

And fuck is a very close second!

Plump82 · 05/02/2024 18:50

BouleDeSuif · 05/02/2024 18:51

Pimlico. And vermiculite.

Chicane

Live the sound out, but not so much the look when written down. It’s my fantasy pop group name.

I once heard that ‘Ocean Colour Scene’ was named because these were someone’s favourite words. Not sure if it’s true or not.

LauderSyme · 05/02/2024 18:52

Unctuous

Exponential

Pusillanimous

TheTecknician · 05/02/2024 18:53

As it's not a word I ever get a chance to use, can I cheat & introduce a sub-category of "favourite word which I actually use"? If so, the answer to that is "discombobulated".
Elbow is strangely satisfying for an everyday word

Discombobulated
