| Rebecca | Petrichor, crimson, floccinaucinihilipilification, enigma, darling, labyrinthine… That’s about it, I think. Words are awesome though. I love words. |

| Emily | @teaandtorchwood do you happen to watch a little show called Demyx Time by any chance? Oh, and I like the words Luminescent, Flabbergasted, Onomatpoeia, and Plethora |
| January 8, 2012 at 1:31 pm #22269 | |
| Rebecca | @rainbowsprinkles I’ve never heard of it actually.. Why? What is it about?
|
| January 8, 2012 at 1:46 pm #22288 | |
| Emily | @teaandtorchwood oh…haha sorry! I saw you had floccinaucinihilipilification as one of your words and that was a major joke running through the whole show, and…and well I thought you had uh…seen it before…*awkward feet shuffling* yeah. |
| January 8, 2012 at 1:51 pm #22296 | |
| Rebecca | @rainbowsprinkles Oh.. xD Well no, but I might watch it! (After I finish Torchwood, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Merlin and Supernatural.. but I’ll put it on my list of Shows I Should Take Into Consideration When Bored. That list didn’t exist before but it does now.) |

| Emily | @teaandtorchwood it’s actually a web show, I should probably add. It’s just one giant parody of the video game Kingdom Hearts, so if you’re new to the fandom, it might come across as incredibly, awkwardly insane to you. I can now say that you have been warned. |

| Rebecca | @rainbowsprinkles I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts, so I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much then. x3 |

| Audrey | @awesomeness “Defenestration”? Dude, yes. I am going to start finding ways to use that in conversations. |
| January 11, 2012 at 7:12 am #27361 | |
| A | Defenestration (it’s why my username is defenestrated!), clishmaclaver, and Kummerspeck are my top three, for sure. |
| January 11, 2012 at 8:07 pm #27694 | |
| Chuck | Eager. It’s such a nice word. |

| Abby | Clumsy. I don’t know why, I just love the way it sounds. Klum-z |

| Jerky Malloy | I’ve actually been keeping a list like this since the summer of 2008. It is over 250 pages long. whistlin’ dixie And, as a bonus, a word I learned today: “Oireachtas.” |

| Brady | Dang it, floccinaucinihilipilification has already been said. I love that word because it is its own definition: floccinaucinihilipilification is the act of deeming something worthless or trivial, and the word in and of itself is worthless and trivial. Colloquial, because it is NOT its own definition. A word that is colloquial is one which is in the everyday lexicon (ooh, lexicon is a good word too), and the word “colloquial” is definitely not one of those words (unless you’re me, because then you would use it quite often because it is your favorite word). |

| Michael | Symposium |

| Nina | Shenanigans is my favorite word, but i’m pretty inclined to nefarious and dalliance, also Chiaroscuro and thank god for spellcheck on that that last one because I’m incredibly bad at spelling that word, but I love the way it sounds. And it’s a beautiful concept. |

| Devina | Rendezvous. By FAR my favorite word. It’s also a word people don’t know I know, so every time I use it I get a range of responses. My favorite was “That’s a big word for you.” So I asked them to tell me what a humuhumunukunukuapua’a was and they nearly dropped to the floor. (google it if you don’t know. They’re awesome) Although antidisestablishmentarianism is fun to say as well. |

| Victoria Hogan | Mediocre And some other pretty mediocre (lol) word that I can’t currently recall. |
| February 11, 2012 at 12:02 am #52053 | |
| Anne Claire | I like the word, “tomfoolery” for some reason, to me everything sounds fun when saying the word. |
| February 15, 2012 at 3:52 am #54898 | |
| Royce | The is probably my favorite word. I find it very useful in everyday speech. |
