Cheesy - in all its contexts.

(More fun Pink Floyd lyrics: "Don't give me that goody, good, bull-shit")

The other is my surname, so I'm not going to write it.


Oooh, I like 'aesthetics' too.

No real words, but I have a series of nonsense words that I tend to use a lot because I like the way they feel when I say them.

Buckminster Fullerine.
Acetyl Choline
Moiety

Oh heck, they're all science words. But juicy ones...I find excuses to say moiety :lol:

Oh, turpitude. As in moral turpitude. That's a chewy word.

Well, I love the word 'gargantuan', but I rarely have the opportunity to use it in the form of a sentence. :D

Basically, *any* words that contain a hard 'g' sound, like 'agnostic' and 'golden' and 'gigabyte', I have a fondness for. ^_^

I like the word "jackass"--I don't know why, but it strikes me as so funny. I use it all the time when I'm driving.

Meerkat or suricate for me. Anything to do with meerkats or exotic animals.

Eviscerate. E-vis-scer-rate. Nice and jagged.

'Methedrine' is a lovely word too. It sounds like a girl's name. Methedrine. Meth-e-drine.

Any chemical term with 'Methyl' in it.

Molybdenum.

The girl's name "Addison" is cool too, I like rolling it around in my head.

For most of my life I have loved the word "riparian". Has a wonderful "Wind in the Willows" (my favorite childhood book) feel and evokes sounds of frogs (my favorite sound) and vistas of sleepy drifting water and banks lined with cattails. I am in love with the word!

It's not just one word, it's two words, when juxtaposed.

"apparently schizophrenic"

How I came to perseverate on this is a long story but just how common a phrase is it?
