A friend recently brought to my attention a word I like: Strider

(Strider from the Capcom arcade game; I used to be obsessed over it when I was younger, that's one reason why I like the name.)

Slurp

It reminds me of ice cream on a hot summer day.

I don't have any particular favourite words, although I do repeat words or sentences from favourite films or aircraft videos.
I do enjoy prenouncing foreign words in a foreign accent or using a foreign accent to pronounce english words, escpecially russian.

I like doing this as well.....I also like the words amalgamate, highlander and outcropping.
There are others, but these are all I can think of at the moment.
