Comfortable.
A good amount of syllables that can be emphasized in many ways. For example, COM-fort-able.

I'd say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but that's not really my favorite word - it's my favorite word to tease people with ("I bet you can't spell it!" "(crying) I can't!").
My actual favorite word? Uh...maybe nuzzle? I don't know, it's just such a cute, sweet word. *nuzzles*

"shenanigans" always reminds me of the South Park episode where the boys go to a carnival, and there is a crooked ring toss game. They find a cop, and claim the game is fixed by saying, "we declare shenanigans!"
And for you really old dudes (like me), do you recall a Saturday morning kids show during the 1960's called SHENANIGANS? It was hosted by Broadway legend Stubby Kaye, and had kids competing in funny obstacle courses and stunts and stuff. Sort of like Double Dare without the slime.
