FXUCK?

My favorite word is probably…

Has anyone mentioned this one yet?

EDIT: I see KingOfSnake did, but he missed the spelling, which isn't surprising.

My favorite four letter word that starts with the letter "f" is "food."

My second favorite four letter word that starts with the letter "f" is "free."

…but not always in that order.

Phlegm

Posted at 11:10PM, Oct. 2, 2007

Sorry, but I'm going to go with "fuck".

It's the one word I use the most each day, mainly because it's so versatile.

Keraunothnetophobia.

My roommate clued me in on it. It's the fear of falling satellites.

Spatula.

Well, that'd be a tie between peed and lugubrious.

Vimpel.

It's the Swedish word for those little triangular flags that you usually get several of on a string. Also, it's used for those tiny paper flags that are sometimes stuck on the ends of toothpicks. Here; have a picture of one: http://www.holyriders.org/images6/vimpel.jpg (this particular picture picked because the mental image of Christian bikers amuses me).

I have lots of favourite words, because I tend to get stuck on a particular word (I like the sound of them), but vimpel is the perennial favourite.

Posted at 8:10AM, Oct. 15, 2007

Heh, in Dutch that'd be 'Wimpel'.

Posted at 5:10AM, Oct. 16, 2007

Ack, someone already mentioned mine (pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconvolcanoconiosis), but BS-ify/BS-ifying, shit, and urwald come in close seconds, as well as many many other German words.

Posted at 9:10AM, Oct. 17, 2007

Heh, in Dutch that'd be 'Wimpel'.

Really? Awesome. Languages are nifty! :)

I shit you not, we have a saying that goes 'Met vlag en wimpel', translating roughly to 'With flag and banner (vimpel :p)'
