Something I really like is etymology. The birth and development of language is fascinating. Onomatopoeia has to be one of the best, and I rather like chronological. I'm rather fond of pontificate as well.
I like many words, so I made a list of words.
This list is two words long, it is a very fastidious list;
Monotonous and Ochlocracy
They are awesome, because they are pronounced differently to how you would first expect.
I need more for my list...
Gosh darn it, Nick. Double posting? I like words also, though I have no examples. Strange words interest me. :D
BAM!
Onomatopoeia has made my list ;)
Mot, the French word for word, is also nice.
Tabernacle.
Syzygy. It was in a spelling comp or something in primary school. Quite a weird word
I too love the word chronological.
Tintinnabulation and vituperation.
Pensive
Pulchritudinous
Pasture
Palometa
At the minute? Magnitude.
Pulchritudinous.
Palpate.
Subjacent.
Hierophant.
And for a series of words:
The sound of her wings.

RSL once divulged to me that his favourite word was beeline.
I can't say my favorite word :p. Other than that word, which I call pretty much everyone, my other favorite words are whoa and awesome.
I really like 'onomatopoeia', I know it's been said but I can't think of any other.
Ochre. I love that word.
That reminds me of another I like;
Ichor.
Cleft :up:
I like lots of words.
One word I really don't like is egg. I don't know why.
Retrogressive
Dilapidated
Callow
Russet
Altruistic
Epiphenomenalism.
And for less nerdiness: plinth.
Immolation
Merchant.
(WELCOME, STRANGER.)
I love words alot.
I've been looking for a point at which to use the word antipode (which is a word, regardless of what the stupid spell check says), but to no avail.
I love a whole bunch of other ones, but I can't think of them.
stealth, anarchy, translucent, shipoopie, hodge-podge, piggly-wiggly, periwinkle, curds, and rectum (the last 6 make me giggle)
I like the word cat. Because it reminds me of cats.
I like the word cat also. I thought of another good one. myriad. I enjoy that one too.
like momiji, I like tintinnabulation.
And in another link, Wordie: People: rubah
Plethora
stymie
Vitamins sounds really cute when said correctly.
Tales of Symphonia made me love the word Indignation.
I heard the word "cognizant" today. :love:
I forgot one of my favourites: Infidel. Such a grea word to shout out in the middle of the street, just it's likely to get me shot by the police these days.
Bollocks
Wanker
Gobsmacked
Pituitary
Dysthymia
Mandolin
Angina
And probably several dozen others.
Exsanguination, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and cuddly. I try to use them on a daily basis.
I also like words that mean the exact opposite in other languages. Like "Gift." In English, a gift is usually a good thing... but it also happens to be German word for poison =D
Also, horrorshow. Anybody who has seen or read A Clockwork Orange should know what I'm talking about. Horrorshow comes from the Russian word khorosho, which means good. Horror show, on the other hand, is a combination of English words which means, obviously, a show of horror. Horrorshow = good, horror show = bad.
People do tend to gloss over the awesomeness of curse words. Take smurf for instance (certainly censored I imagine), quite probably the most flexible word in the english language. I love it.Quote:

Ample.
Moon, encompass, wolf, mountain, glitter, horizon, cocoon, fox, facility, destination, rise, locomotive, ocean, remedy, eternity, fairy, dawn, strategic... and the list goes on, but those are what I thought of right now; simple words that I really like ;)
mandolin isn't as cool when you know someone who plays one.

There's convalesce too. superfluous. Using the word 'brand' instead of 'sword'. Good times. I guess tepid is kinda good, too.
