Posted: 12/7/06 at 10:48pmI can't think of one favorite right now, but I've always loved the word "bison". And if I'm being nasty, I'll call someone a bison.

Rambunctious
Shenanigans
Hooligan
Verklempt
And you can't forget "cellar door."

Posted: 12/8/06 at 2:56amI've always liked to say the word "hemoglobin." For some reason I always thought it rolled of the tongue nicely.

Chach. From muchacho. Preferably used in the sentence, "You f*ing chach!"
Sub rosa, meaning secret or confidential, is also nice.
As far as English words go, you can't beat "romance".

My favorite words? Hypocrisy, defenestration, and z

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
