Favorite words?

I've always thought that "rhythm" was visually beautiful. It sounds beautiful. And the function of rhythm in music also sounds beautiful.

It hits the wordlover's trifecta!

That was my former chief pilot's favorite word. I had never heard it before working with him.

Yep. It's just like 'Well bless your heart' down south. All purpose response.

Yep, unless it's said by a Southern woman about an absent third party. Then it's kind of delightfully bitchy.

This reminds me of 'gobsmacked'.

For some reason.

My favorite word is "favorite" which I overuse - a lot. I have many "favorite" pictures. One of my closest friends uses the word "best" as her favorite word. I tease her that some of her "bests" are not quite as wonderful as she makes them out to be. She teases me about my plethora of "favorites".
