Poll: Your favourite words.

[Malbourne]

Words and accents in particular excite me, for some reason.

Oh, you dirty, dirty umlaut. I thought up a couple of German ones, then:

Hübschen: (hewb-shen) Which is usually a catch-all term for attractive, but hey, I just studied this stuff. It's not like I took it to the road. Also, it's generally cute when the suffic -chen is added to a word.

König: (kur-nig) Means king. I just think it's fun to say, but that extends to a lot of the words that have an O with umlaut.

Kirsche: (kir-shuh) Cherry. Learned it in my first failed attempt at a Black Forest Cake.

Kirche: (kir-*pleghm*-uh) Church. Well, it amused me a lot when I mixed them up. It's also pretty fun to pronounce in front of friends who think I'm having a coughing fit.

 

[Mr Fixit]

I'm quite fond of "jackass" & "jackassery".

I find myself saying "indeed" a lot.

And just because it pisses so many people off "whatever" is one of my all time favs.

 

[TheRiddler]

Also, the word "shit". But only when used by Clay Davis on The Wire.

 

[DasDestroyer]

I like Prestidigitator, mostly because it's a lot harder to pronounce than it looks.
It basically just means magician or illusionist.

 

[mjharper]

Another one for "defenestrate". Such an awesome word.

Spunkgargleweewee: First Person Shooters (I think?)

Also
Bollocks!

When an Englishman uses the word, you can be 110% sure something has gone wrong
