<p>“Rain” is my favorite word.</p>
<p>Huh, I’ve never even looked at the high school forum before! This thread caught my eye because the members of my family were just talking about our favorite words the other day.</p>
<p>My D’s favorite -quixotic</p>
<p>My husband likes - borborygmi</p>
<p>Mine - extraordinary</p>
<p>My 91 one year old mother has recently started using “whatever” all the time - which was just voted as being the most annoying word!</p>
<p>Older D had a debate coach in hs who use to talk about words, word usage, etc. all the time. He was a rather large man and in his booming voice with southern accent, he said his favorite words were smorgasbord and barbeque! HA HA!</p>
<p>Clearly
Deduce/Deductive
Draconian
Phenomenon (just because I love it when people have a hard time saying it)
Catalyst</p>
<p>I think “clearly” is my absolute favorite though. When certain people say it, it sounds great.</p>
<p>Effervescent.</p>
<p>Atavistic
Vista
Rumble (I LOVE this one)
Gossamer
Panaroma</p>
<p>YAY PRETTY!!!</p>
<p>Rendezvous, schadenfreude, eloquent, and lucid.</p>
<p>O, hmm…I don’t know if I have a favorite word, but I do like the phrase, prolonging the inevitable for some reason haha</p>
<p>Plethora, esoteric, some others I can’t think of right now</p>
