Realist: Describes me perfectly.
Delusional: most people have delusions of some kind, so everyone is slightly psychotic.
Anencephaly: Describes most humans (being brainless).
Corpulence: Describes me perfectly... it means extremely FAT.
Impecunious: This is my future, without a thing called "money" whatever that is.
Omniscient: All Knowing like God, I hate knowing the hell that's coming our way.
Inauspicious: Describes us for the last few years.
Insouciant: Describes my brother, same meaning as nonchalant.
Loquacious: Me, blah blah blah talking too much.
Prognosticate: What I do all the time, predict with evidence. My future is dark.
And of course, FireBird/ Phoenix. Beautiful creatures and its my name on most forums.
Human Condition: People.

There are a lot of words that I tend to use repetitively, but the ones I enjoy using most and actively try to insert into everyday speaking are "ephemeral" and "nebulous".

I love scientific words like "Neoteny", "Hypothesis", "Isotope" and indeed others. They sounds so cool and make you feel like a genius!

Lethargic (Coincidentally my dad absolutely hates this word for some reason! :lol: )

Tangent

Teeter

Totalitarianism

I certainly like a lot of words with hard "t's" in them, don't I?

Kitty is an awesome word. It's one of them that I'm most likely to go into the palilalia stuff with.

Couple of good ones here that I haven't thought of -- longing and bubbles.

My favorite for the way it sounds is "luscious". Reminds me of lemon chiffon pie for some reason.

The word that most makes me laugh is "weasel". I don't know why, but I find it a really funny word.
