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/

I don't have one word - it's two, used in conjunction with one another that just - disheveled coiffe - fill me with glee. (And this is literally Joe Flanigan's fault although I didn't know it until I got into SGA last year.)

I'm also a big fan of fruition and verisimilitude.

Disheveled is a great word! And I've had many occasions to use it ever since Joe Flanigan came into my life :D
