Quick, what's your favorite word?

"indubitably"

I love the way it sounds.

"sesquipedalian"

Not only do I like the sound, but it's a word that must describe you in order for you to use it.

Penumbra
though it's hard to pick just one

[kthanna.livejournal.com]

'iota'
because honestly - 4 letters, 3 of which are vowels AND 3 syllables? Pure awesome ^_~

Egregious.

The first that sprang to mind was onomatopoeia, but I'm also rather fond of penultimate.

[ultharkitty.livejournal.com]

Liminal.

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

Ssssssibilant.

[kendwoods.livejournal.com]

Aluminium.

Only when spoken like a brit though.

Al-yoo-min-ee-uhm.

Very satisfying to say, this word, this way.

Opaque.

shattered. At least, I use it a hell of a lot.

Belatedly, I answer: contumacious. (Though "ubiquitous" held the top spot for years before.)

[klwilliams.livejournal.com]

For this week: arugula.

Cartographer. Yeah, I dunno why it isn't cartography, either.

I have many favorite words, and the top favorite changes on an almost daily basis.

Today my favorite is polymath.

A few days ago it was salubrious (but only because it sounds so lubricious).

Ooh, I like Penultimate too.

[hkneale.livejournal.com]

serendipity.

(also like cellardoor).
