Favorite Words?
Tersa:
;D Frell is one of my favorite words, even though I didn't really watch Farscape all that much. I love the word forsooth as well, even though I never have a place to use it. But my favorite word of all time, in any language?
Pamplemousse. It's French for grapefruit. ;D
Kiriath:
Frell. Heck yes. :D
Berry:
I like the word "hope". I like it as a name,a concept....as the only thing that gets me through some days. :)
BigMama:
One of the boards on which I have posted for years has a word filter that eliminates sexually charged words and replaces them with "bunnyslipper". I have always found this hilarious--especially the context in which you often find it.
I love the words "mystical" and "serendipitous".

That reminds me of when I was doing sexual harrassment training for TAing. We got an example of an "inappropriate" e-mail one might receive from a student:
I want to [verb] you. I want you to [verb] me in my [noun], while I'm [verb] you.
It went on like that for quite some time.
Oh... topic...
I can't say as I actually have any favorite words to write with. Someone mentioned "pamplemousse," my favorite French word was always "ananas," or pineapple ;)
When I'm reading, I love it when authors make up words. It's always amused me to see a word made up, and wonder if it will make it into common usage.
