The boards have been a bit serious these past few days, so tell me some of your favourite words original.gif

I like:
Existential (love the way it rolls off your tongue and that no one is ever really sure of it's meaning)
Disenfranchised and disengaged ('p*ssed off' for when in polite company)
Yellow (like the colour itself, I also associate the word with happy things$
Catastrophizing (see existential)
Ephemera (see existential and catastrophizing)

Does this effectively hide my thunder?
I had a teacher who's favourite word was electric.

I also like serendipity, and ennui.

Ennui is about the way it looks, and I used to go past it written on a wall, the graffiti writer had a nice hand, and chose a good colour. It always made me think.

I wish I had more, or maybe its tranquility I really want more of.... wink.gif

Mastication.

The fact it sounds a bit like masturbation... We had a sweet little old English teacher in high school that often said to the class not to masticate with your mouth open (there was always somebody with gum!) I'm sure she said it for her own amusement... It always got giggles around the room. Still makes me smile now.
