And why?
My favorite word is...
flibbertigibbet
I was reading the dictionary one day when I was a little kid (okay, nerdy), and accidentally came across this word and thought it sounded funny...it just stuck with me. I don't often use it.
It means: A silly, scatterbrained, or garrulous person.

ubiquitous...meaning "everywhere" of course.
In Latin, "ubi" means "where," so it makes sense.
Flibbertigibbets are ubiquitous on Yahoo, don't you agree?

*****
Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word ****. Of all the English words beginning with f, **** is the single one referred to as the "f-word". It's the one magical word. Just by it's sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. ****, as most of the other words in English, has arrived from Germany. **** from German's "fliechen" which mean to strike. In English, **** folds into many grammatical categories. As a transital verb for instance, "John ****** Shirley". As an intransitive verb; "Shirley *****". It's meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as an adjective such as; John's doing all the ******* work. As part of an adverb; "Shirley talks too ******* much", as an adverb enhancing an adjective; Shirley is ******* beautiful. As a noun; "I don't give a ****". As part of a word: "abso-*******-lutely" or "in-*******-credible". Or as almost every word in a sentence: "**** the ******* *******!". As you must realize, there aren't many words with the versitility such as the word ****,as in these examples used as the following words;
- fraud: "I got ******"
- trouble: "I guess I'm really ****** now"
- dismay: "Oh, **** it!"
- aggresion: "don't **** with me, buddy!"
- difficulty: "I don't understand this ******* question"
- inquery: "who the **** was that?"
- dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the **** is going on here"
- incompetence: "he's a ****-off!"
- dismissal: "why don't you go outside and **** yourself?"
I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multipurpoused applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
Use this unique, flexibel word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly:
**** YOU!

my favorite word would have to be Lexicon. It just seems to roll right. Lexicon: a book containing an alphabetical arrangement of the words in a language and their definitions

"Synergy", because this simple, "little" word captures or defines or summerizes something so true and relevant to our experiences in this world! Good or bad (or evil), is compounded by combinations! Sort of like "there is strength in numbers".
