js85 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I personally think copacetic is such a nice word, which is fun because one could say "the word copacetic is copacetic." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baburra Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Chowder is one of my most favorite English words because it just sounds so whimsical and appetizing. I don't even like the actual food itself because I intensely dislike seafood, but whenever I hear this word it makes me salivate a bit. Also, I find it amusing how it can be used to call someone a funny name like chowderhead and it doesn't sound too insulting but it's silly enough to be humorous while being critical.

zabina12 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I would say that my favorite word in English is "Respect".It is a common English word which is so meaningful and can be very powerful. I like it simply because of its meaning and how common it is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elenamarie Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 My most favorite English word would be "Integrity", I don't think it is commonly used for I don't read it much online or in books and I don't think it is commonly practiced either. I learned it in the company I used to work at. Integrity is defined as "doing the right thing even no one around is looking because you know it is the right thing to do."

Krrizal Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 My favorite word is "sweet"! It is a short word, very simple and self-explanatory, but holds a lot of meaning and can be applied to countless different situations.

RedRose Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 'Simplicity' rolls off the tongue. I like the 's' sound, and the smooth 'c' sound. It all comes together nicely when spoken. I'm just weird, I guess. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takibari Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Mine is FAITH. In a world where chaos and uncertainty seem to take center stage, I love what its meaning represent. It's just a one syllable word and yet its meaning is very profound. I know a lot of people have lost their FAITH in the world, but I'd like to think that if we hold on to it, the world is still a nice place.

primalclaws1974 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I like the word "serendipity". The word rolls off your tongue nicely. It means to find something valuable or rewarding without looking for it. An example might be a person who is nice to people simply for the act of being kind might be rewarded by the people he was nice to saving his life. He didn't be nice to get a reward, but he was rewarded anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hclpd Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 It seems that you all have your favorite words. Am I the only one who doesn't discriminate against the words? They all deserve to be treated equally after all. There are too many 'Ineffable' words to mention here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenamarie Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Absquatulate is a fun word meaning running away abruptly, usually taking something along with them. A good example is when robbers ran away with the money they stole, why say all those lines when you can shorten it to one word and instead say “The robbers absquatulated with the money”. I think it is not a common word though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosa Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 My favorite English word is Jesus. It is a word that brings me comfort and solution whenever I use it. I often encourage others to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddVisions Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 My favorite word in the English language is cadaverous. It came mean either deadly or knife-like depending on how it's used and in what context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primalclaws1974 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I also like the word "opaque". This means something that is not transparent, such as water or glass. I suppose it can also mean a person who hides their true personality or intentions. I have used this word in my writings several times.

Asaase Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 My favorite English word is onomatopoeia. Call me odd, but I like that this word has so many syllables and I like its definition. An onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically imitates the sound it is describing. For example, boom, honk, meow, beep, and pow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a short word, very simple and self-explanatory, but holds a lot of meaning and can be applied to countless different situations.Good choice and I absolutely agree. I think that would be one of the more overlooked words whenever someone is asked of their favorite word but you are right, it encompasses a lot of meanings and emotions in a very poetic way and its simplicity only adds more to the charm.

Melee Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 My favorite word in the English language is "wisdom". Wisdom embodies every trait that one needs to have to be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerPerson Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 If I have to choose one favorite word in English, it was be "Gargantuan." I have to thank that one character in Kill Bill because of that. "Gargantuan. It's a funny word." Mind you, she's saying this after criming an unforgiveable act to Bill's brother. Perhaps, the context of the scene made me love the word more, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muthoni Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 My favorite word in English is okay. I use it so often that most people notice. I will never forget an incidence where I was having my hair done. The lady who was braiding my hair had a small child. Out of the blues the child started saying Okay. I had not noticed how much I had used the word until the child started imitating me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSKILLu Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I really like the word will. As in 'by maintaining a strong will, I am sure I can reach every goal in life'. Its a word that reminds me that things can be accomplished by keeping a strong and focused attitude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffi Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I have many favorite words , but I am a simple soul and tend to love words that hold a meaning to me and the things I care about in life. Like beer, coffee, snow, wiskey, clouds and cabbage , and all of them and we and nature itself relies on water.Water is one of my favorite words in a couple of languages, but it really holds so much meaning in the English language. I have a thing it seems for words with double consonants and the letters w and c , when it comes to English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanseung Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hmm, I actually had to think a little about this one. Personally, I really like the word 'camaraderie'. The word not only sounds quite nice, but the meaning is also quite nice: "mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together". It reminds me of times that I gradually became friends with people up to the point that we trusted each other with anything and everything, and that feeling of friendship is such a lovely one.
