If so, what's your favorite word?

i love patriot:

PATRIOT, n. One to whom the interests of a part seem superior to those of the whole. The dupe of statesmen and the tool of conquerors.



www.devilsdictionary.com if you're interested. but be warned, ambrose bierce was a salty one and there are naughty words and words that are innappropriate. so...not for virgin eyes, so to speak...it's one of those banned book kind of deals.
