out of curiosity

[aesc]

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/

SMITE is also very, very high up on the list; it runs "sloth" a close second, I think, because there's something very satisfying and percussive about saying how much, say, I wish I could smite the people in Payroll for messing up my stipend. It almost makes up for not really being able to call fire and brimstone or lightning bolts down on them :D
