    I used to like Obscure for some reason.

    These days, I describe my taste in color schemes as Obnoxious.

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- the fear of long words. I just love the irony here.

    Oh dear, I have a list.

    nowhere
    whimsical
    grim
    tempest
    forlorn
    defiant

    I have Synesthesia, so these are just the 'gray swirling' words because I am in a gray-swirling mood. Except for defiant. But I like the way it moves, so it has been added to the list.

    Daft. Certainly near the top of the list of words for myself right behind Disembowel. Sounds like a gentlemanly killers way of saying kill you gruesomely.

    That's a good one. A lot like "contradistinction". Despite seeming like the kind of word that wouldn't come up very often, once you find out what it means, it's applicable in a lot of conversations.

    My favorite words currently are: moue, agog, and persiflage. :) Moue and agog are just fun, little words that convey a lot of meaning. And, persiflage is just fun to say. :)

    I really fancy the word "duh", if that is even considered a word at all. Just love the primitiveness of it. Excuse me, I'll now return to my cave.

    A few:

    Pop
    Top
    But
    Buck
    Luck
    Puck
    **ck
    Stuck
    Nut
    Hawk
    Shock
    Cock
    Clock
    Talk
    Rock
    Snot
    Not
    ...

    My favorite word of all time is:
    Govinda

    This is Krishna's nickname when he acts as a herdsman of his cattle.
    I also really like Karma,
    So much so that I named my daughter Karma.

    "Inadequate" is currently my favourite one. I think it's quite powerful

    I have always loved the words ludicrous and lascivious............they kind of make my tongue tingle when I say them.
