Bombastic and brouhaha....NICE!

Mine? Shenanigans
Burros (but when pronounced "boodohs")

On the other hand I hate words; spelled with a "z" or "x"
like Xtreme or boyz. Or made up words like "new school" (opposed to "old school")

You get by saying "dork" and "twit" while driving? Jeez, don't drive with me. I need a little more...expression. Don't drive in Boston without some serious verbage.

Hey, look at that.

I like the word "turnbuckle." And "doitled." And any number of other ones. Such preferences come and go.
