What is...

[Louise Yeiser McAlpin]

...your favorite word?
...the one word that always makes you laugh?
...the word that bugs you the most?

[Narda Wakoluk]

Favorite: hoarfrost

Laugh: bailiwick. The first time I used it at the table, it drew blank stares. 'That's not a word'. Now it's a family joke...mom's use of 'odd' words.

Bugs me: any word co-opted by special interests that results in a diminished/restricted use (of that word).

"BUT..."

i find myself use this word more than any other word...hahah its funny my bf always tells me that i add but after every gd thing ; which is true..but (again i am using it) he says in his mind he has replaced that word to be "love" cause it sounds sweeter to him and whatever i say after that he simply ignores it cause according to him whatever comes after that is usaully non sense which is again true.

but(see i used it again) this i find extremely funny and irritating at the same time..

but(here i go again) i just cant stop using "but"....

[Jenni Marie]

favorite: vex (perhaps because of the vast amount of annoying people I encounter)
laugh: brouhaha (it almost sounds like laughter)
bugs me: interesting (it's so not. . .interesting. . .)

1. I'm sorry, but my favorite word to say is not one I can type in this forum, and as such, I don't say it very often - I assure you.

2. Onomatopoeia - what a silly word. Also a lot of fun to speak out loud.

3. The most annoying word I can think of at the moment is retro, used as either an adjective or a prefix. The only exception to this would be the word retrograde. I don't know why.

My favorite word is salsa. Just like saying it. It's fun. Best when you let the sounds roll off your tongue, 'sssaaalllsssaaa'. See? Fun. Although some might argue my favorite word begins with 'f', I disagree. I say it lots, but it's not a favorite.

My most hated word? There are so many that I'm not fond of. Loins. That would be the one that bothers me the most, I think.

Funniest word...oh, I have kids so there are so many that have been made funny. I'd have to say persnickety is the one that usually brings a smile. I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them at the moment.

Here's mine: Lagniappe:

A lagniappe (pronounced /ˈlænjæp/, LAN-yap) is a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase (such as a 13th donut when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."[1] The word is chiefly used in the Gulf Coast of the United States, especially Louisiana

[callan]

favorite: counter-factual. As in "I am not going to argue counter-factuals with you."
word that makes me laugh/ retrosexual or guyliner anything that plays with lang. like that
another word i heard like it was robosexual
word that bugs me / empowerment or empowered they have been used so much that they have lost all meaning it was a great word before you heard people using it all the time

[bolton carley]

Not so literary, but my favorite word is seriously. It can be a statement or a question. Perfect for a sarcastic girl like me.

Funniest - putz - as in "Quit putzing in the hallway and get to class!"

Least favorite - No. As in rejection, or it's not good enough, as in I'm not gonna do it because I know you really want to, etc.
