I just like the sound of some words. the cadence, if you will (cadence itself being an example of an exquisite cadence)

swoop

paradigm

cellar

parenthesis

but the germans have the best word of all. 'doch'.

it means no. or yes. or but. or any of the above. it's only used conversationally....like when someone says 'es gibt keine moglichkeit, ein ganzes essen kann' (there is no way you can eat a whole one of those), you simply reply 'doch'. the value of this is that there is no confusion. in english if you replied 'no', that could mean, 'no, you are right, there is no way', or 'no, you are wrong, and I will demonstrate your error presently'. and vice versa for yes. which could also mean yes or no.

doch does away with that. no more misunderstandings over your confidence in your ability to consume a whole jaffa-cake-bar in one fair swoop. just doch, and go. and it's brilliant for arguments. try it. it's great.

Could it not be taken to mean, 'If I do eat a whole one of these I will require medical assistance?'

Snood is one of mine. Whenever I see someone wearing the popular woolen garment, I loudly say "Snoooooooooooood!" It drives the wife mental.

I also like the word eggbound, meaning you have eaten eggs and are constipated as a result.

Do you deliberately consume eggs in large quantities thereby enabling yourself to use the word in its proper context? Otherwise it would be difficult to drop into everyday conversation. I suppose waiting for someone to walk past with a peculiar gait and frowning expression and then commenting,' He looks proper eggbound,' is one possibility- or perhaps, 'You eggbound twat!' to the barman who is constantly short-changing you in the local.
My favourite words change from day to day, but there are timeless classics- banoffee, regurgitate (strange how often those two are used together) and impropriety spring instantly to mind.

Horrible word, especially when people use it interchangeably with recite/recall.

My favourite would have to be 'bad'. When you have a fairly extensive vocabulary, throwing the said word in when there are far more (shall we say) appealing words creates a striking effect.

I also like 'preuxest'. It's just a shame no fucker understands it. For me, that is bad.
