Deoxyribonucleic acid.

[jaws]

I have so many...but I guess one of my favorites that I can squeeze into most conversations is "conundrum".

 

[IContainMultitudes]

If I had to pick one right now, I think it would be "fugue." I'm fascinated by the fact that it's a musical term and a psychological one.

I also like "concomitant" just because it's a good $10 word to drop when you want to sound smart.

 

[evilpinkdinosaur]

ain't

yes, ain't is a word. It is in the dictionary. Why it became my favorite word? because me and a classmate had a fight once, and I picked up the dictionary to prove it is a word. Became my favorite.

ain't = am not for those who don't know.

A couple more words I like:

"Phosphene" - Just because I was fascinated to discover recently that there's actually a word for the weird lights you see when you rub your eyes.

"Lagniappe" - Because I always enjoy getting a nice little lagniappe of one kind or another (It's really a shame that I never get to use this word since most people have probably never even heard of it).

Dicrostonyx.

It's a lemming genus.

 

[juffur]

Australopithecus. A hominid genus

I can't even stop using that word for even a day.

 

[Calcifer]

Impish.
Plummy.
Loathe.
Slobbery.
Flabby.
Most words ending with a 'y'.
