Are there any words you just really like?

According to her tv show (haven't read the book yet, but I will), Miranda likes the words: thrust and moist. Thrrrrrrust! Moooiiieeesst! I like ooze, luminous, requisition and disdain. Intermingle, intertwine, integrate, intermittent and it's synonym sporadic, riddled, potent...
They're all really good words.
Do you have any words that you just really like?

I love the word defenestrate. It means to throw a person or a thing out the window. Hella hard to use in an everyday sentence but how cool is it that there is a word for that! I also like lackadaisical and jollification. I think the former is just pretty sounding and the second is just fun to say.

Haha! Those are fantastic; I've never heard any of them! Especially jollification :)

Personal favourites of mine are quagmire (such a lovely word to say) and discombobulated, which is a state I find myself in more and more often.

I like the words 'flop' and 'wallow'. They are good words for winter, when it's nice to do both. Maybe in the summer I will go for something more lively.

Sorry if I'm supposed to start a new discussion, but on the flip side of this, does anyone have any words they just hate! I loathe the word pamper. It is like nails on a chalk board to me.

I love 'paraphernalia'.

[Nikki]

i think quizzical is a great word

I hate 'quick' or anything starting with a Q that makes the "KWIH" sound. Hate it...ugh...

I LOVE discombobulated! Yet difficult to fit in everyday conversation!
