...any word
It doesn't have to be a favorite, although mine (for meaning) is
Serendipity.
Cochlea, cracked me up as a 6th Grader
I like how when you say, "bounce" it *sounds* like the first definition of the word. I also like other redefinitions/connotations of the word.
"Let's Bounce!" "We bounced all over that hotel room!" "Karma will bounce you back!"

Anyway bring a word, no matter how smarmy and sarcastic you want to be.

(I didn't know whether to put this in here, Games, or Dating?)
You can tell a lot about a person by the words they bring.

'Idiosyncrasy' 'cause it sounds awesome when an Italian says that. :smile: 'accoutrements' also cool but with Russian accent.

Everyone sounds Italian-American when they say, "arugula".

I have a Russian friend. Every once in while I'll ask him to say, "The microfilm is in the black lacquer box."

Quaint.

Charmingly old fashioned.

Example: The lady in the dress looked ever so quaint.

One of my favorite words is BOING.

You can see someone that is really depressed and grab their attention and just say BOING and smile and it makes them laugh.

While watching TV I like to add a BOING here and there during action scenes. It can get really funny if timed right.

Thing is, there really isn't many practical uses for the word.

Then there are the applications of the word SMOG.

I smoke cigarettes.
I recall my younger days when my parents would have card night and the house got filled with cigarette smoke.
I remember my days in bars where the bars would get filled with cigarette smoke.
The air would be filled with smog.

Now I refer to cigarettes as SMOGS.
I have to go to the store for SMOGAGE.
Oh, Lord, this room is all SMOGGY.
I bought a carton of SMOGS.
Time to step outside for a SMOG.
I just got back from SMOGITATION.
Not now, I was recently SMOGIFIED.

DUFFY
I like many words that end with Y.
Plus, I will add a Y to a word for humor at just the right time.

I also like saying SNORKEL and FLABBERGASTED.
I just think they are fun to say.

One "word" that I hear people say, or see typed, far too often is:
"Volumptuous."
It makes me smile and think of fat people and tubas.


Honorable mention, from me, has to go to "therapists."
Ever since the SNL Jeopardy sketch where Darrell Hammond played Sean Connery and said "I'll take the rapists for 200," when the subject was "therapists," I can't hear or read any variation of the word "therapy" without separating it into the two words in my head.
