...just to name a few. I love your word-nerd lists, simply because they remind me how similar we are.
you rule.
i'm quite fond of frolic.
i forgot to add, that kitten is my favorite.
Too funny -- my friend and I were just talking today about words we love. Whippersnapper and poppycock are on my list. Say them out loud and try not to smile.
Galoshes is a really good one.
Words I have said or thought 40 times today: fuck.
I like zipper and Nikon D3. Hmmm, that's two words, isn't it?
I love words that evoke a different era. Like doozy. And galoshes. I use snazzy a lot too.
You absolutely MUST go see this in conjunction with this post. And don't give up on it - it's about 5 minutes long, and makes very little sense till about 3 minutes in - then, it becomes a work of genius.

Also: you said "fuck". Hee!
I like Jubilee.
I also like what Von Kranki said about words that are from a different era.
Personally, I like the sound of "myocardial infarction". Not, you know, actually having one, but the sound of the words together.
Okay, Nils's YouTube link? AWESOME. Also quite hypnotic.
i kinda love when folks mix up prostrate and prostate...i giggle a little inside.
also, i saw this on another website today and thought of you and rob. instead of y'all being "DINKs" (double income no kids), you can tell people that you're actually "THINKERs" instead: two-healthy-incomes-no-kids-early-retirement! heeheehee!
MMmm...falafel.
Tantalizing & dilapidated are pretty fun words to say. Oh - avocado (or Avogadro).
