aesc: (word)

out of curiosity

What is your favorite word of all time, the word that fills you with bizarre, ineffable happiness whenever you get the chance to use or say it?

Mine is 'sloth,' although my favorite not-English word is Old English neorxnawong, which is the word for Paradise (as in, the Garden of Eden). Nay-orx-na-wong! Say it!

I ask this question periodically because I love words and I love it when people talk about them and enjoy them. It makes me happy and it relaxes me.

Back tonight with fic! \o/

Well, I have two. Fuck is probably the one I use the most. Really, I love the versatility of it, and it feels so satisfying to say it. The other is entropy. Also great fun to say, and the thought of entropy fascinates me.

"Fuck" is indeed very nice... I think it's my preferred obscenity, because even if I have to mutter it, it's still so emphatic and furious-sounding :D
