Episiotomy would not be on your list if you'd ever had one.
Epiphany is my all-time favorite word.
Sextard - you know, the bad sexual partner is a sextard.
I love flummoxed.
I also like bamboozled, bedraggled and melancholy.
Defenestrate is also on my personal list of best-loved words.
episiotomy is NOT one of my favorite words you sicko!
ZimBOBway is the best word ever. I know that's not spelled right but DAMN I love that word.
Persnickety is pretty good but I looooove zimbobway the best.
...okay, uvula is pretty good too. It's part of my all time favorite movie line from Monster House,
"that's the uvula"
"ohh, so it's a GIRL house"
snicker snicker.
I'm so juvenile.
I love the word plethora. I use it a lot.
We could also go crazy over the words ice and cream.
Episiotomy? Episiotomy! My nether regions are quivering and I have never even had one.
I agree with you. The sound of the words...seductive, loquacious...
i'm with grandma j - i freaking love the word plethora
most of those are good...some make me shudder!
oh, my other favorite word (that isn't really a word but should be) is fucktard.
Can I point out that a disproportional number of those words are sexually based?
Anyhoo.....a favorite:
Sri Lanka
I was certain it would be a beautiful place, but once I looked into it, it's a total bad scene.
When Im in a bad mood, I prefer the word, "asshole", and sadly, so does my 2 year old daughter.
ennui
discombobulated
irrascible
acrid
cantankerous (love that one!)
crotchety
ululate
breathlessness
micturate
(and there's fucktard, which is rather impolite, but still one of my faves. And puckerbutt pisswit)
There are more, but I can't think of them at the moment. (I used to have a list somewhere in my archives)
Da Goddess
I love this. I also have a list going and some of my favorite words are:
plethora
hootenany
gobbleygook
yadda yadda yadda
My favorite city name? Tallapoosa. I like the way it sounds, and it always reminds me of the word "poot" which always makes me giggle.
Cool! I have an affinity with two words on your list (in a different form) Unitard and ursurp.
My current favourite is schadenfruede, but it always seems to pretenious to use in a verbal conversation and too much of a trendy buzz word to use in written communication.
Also: jalopy, zamboni, neuroplasticity and hippocamus.
poppycock
chalcedony
parure
triptych
prognosticate
I love:
Crap-tastic
Nimrod
and my favorite:
Serendipity
I always think that the word unitard sounds like an insult.
I think I need to read my dictionary more....heck, I don't know what some of those words mean!
I like
epiphany
photogenic
intellectual
amortization (from my real estate background)
I love girth. I mean the word. Well, not that I don't like the......
Never mind, how about schmuck! I grew up on that one.......
My newest favorite word is the one that I'm looking at NOW, right below the comment box, i.e., the WORD VERIFICATION, which is:
"femitho"
"femi tho"
"Femi T. Ho"
"Femi t' ho"
"Fem it ho"
Jason, what does this mean? It is some sort of sign. I always see hidden signs, even if I don't know what they mean, I know they are signs.
I am not making this up. It really says femitho. Awesome, huh?
I'm a fan of the double-o!
Poop!
Boob!
Oops!
Your words are so funny! I love unitard and sasquatch. :)
My favorites change regularly. Right now it would have to be any derivative of "Macerate."
discombobulate
regurgitate
panoramic
cuisinart
vajayjay
fantabulous
peace

My favorite word?
Rerun.
This is one, right?
I'm just saying.
"Flibbertigibbet" .
The whole time I was reading your list all I could think about was one of those class assignments where you have to write a paragraph using at least 10 of your spelling words. And I was all, "The cantankerous neanderthal removed a bunion from his uvula with a spork, but it turned out to be a persnickety goiter."
...or something.
I have issues.
Because everyone knows that neanderthals didn't have uvulas.
Hmmm, I didn't know that it was crumudgeon. I always pronounce it as curmudgeon.
macabre - i love that word! alot. and schadenfreude that's another one.
i'm not so sure about dasatardly. is that a word? i'm doubting it. cuz when you google it this post comes up first.
Ooo.... Great choices Jason!
I've always loved extrapolate and pontificate. (spelling?)
I did my "Seven Things" posting last night. That was hard! ;-)
Happy Halloween.
Cindy
Ummm, I agree with JLO on the rerun.
But since I didn't comment before, my favorite word is from the Flight of the Conchords...Hiphopopotamus.
Jeez! The only word I recognise is ejaculate.
Oh, I love the word
facetious.
I don't know why. Oh, and
gluteus maximus.
That word cracks me up!
Why, Jason, do you like the word epesiotomy? You're a sick son of a gun, you really really are.
Oooo! Oooo! Wacky words!!!
I want to play!!
hornswoggle
jettison
Machu Picchu
opaque
elbow
maudlin
specificity
aggregate
hullabaloo
archaic
Scranton
fissure
Chinkapin
ectoplasm
dappled
boondoggler
Also, Tootsie Farklepants, that was a remarkable sentence.
Also, I've just said "goiter" aloud four times fast. FUN!
I'm so embarrassed that at least four of the words on my list were spelled incorrectly. I'm a teacher, for goodness sake!
Words like "dasatardly" and "curmudgeon" especially!!!
"Ball Peen Hammer..."
"asshat" is pretty good.
"Probably" (just because no one ever fully pronounces it)
Mom #1, you might be in love with the word "facetious" because it contains the letter a,e,i,o and u, each only once and in the correct order. Only "arsenious" and "abstemious" share that property but who ever heard of those words before?
How about cacophony? :D What about tigobitties? Well it's not a WORD, but i've heard and it's stupid so it counts right?
Hmmm... some interesting choices. I do like "weisenheimer". What about "Curmudgeon"? I love that word.
And how about "foiled" - as in "Foiled again!"
I love the word "luxe" and "bliss"... probably more for the feelings they evoke in me.
But Jason, really... "episiotomy"? Is it just fun for you to say it? I've had one and it's NOT a fun thing to GET, I'll tell ya that.... !!
:-)
... and there are names I just love. Used to have a cat named Mortimer. He was great. :-)
And my next male cat will be named.... HORATIO!!!! :-)
"Unitard" made me make donkey noises. Thank you.
unctuous
viscosity
amalgamation
femur
bilious
verbosity
acuity
truncated
miasma
frumious bandersnatch (from "The Phantom Tollbooth")
and also
snail
and "barsh," which is my word verification for today
I believe my all-time favorite word is simply "monkey". I love monkeys. Monkeys are funny...
LOL! You said unitard! Hahahahahaha!!!
I can definitely see the appeal of your faves, though I've had to say "bunion" way too many times this past year to be in love with it anymore; now it just sounds like old age.
Thanks for visiting me :D Sad I won't get to meet you next week...
