Serendipity - I like the sound and the meaning.
luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for. So serendipity is a happy accident.

@MartinTheFirst its actually very east to apply in the form of "serendipitous'.

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@pianoplayingsteve "This is quite serendipitous that we would find this"

pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M

@MartinTheFirst Also Scotland for scallions, apparently. When I went to London as a student they used think I was Scottish. Also a hot toddy (whisky, boiling water, etc.)

pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M

@SW-User that is a funny english slang word. It was used in monty pythons life of brian in which a stuttering pontius pilate used it. Hilarious.

@Bluebirdsonmyshoulder I had to look it up and now I really like it. At first I thought it was someone with a missing leg.

HikingMan · 51-55, M

I go through periods of using certain words for extended periods, but I'm not sure if I actually have a favorite word.

My current word is "Meat-Stick"

It's what I call the stupid people at work....

There are many I love and it's always because of both of those reasons:
Whimsical. Ephemeral. Sonorous. Incandescent. Languid. Rambunctious. Clandestine... I could go on for ages.
