Favourite Words

Oblige.

Cruel (and the derivatives thereof) is probably my favorite. I have to stop myself from overusing it. Radiate as well. I think I've used both those words in every single story I've written in the past few years.

Also: darkly, appropriate (verb form), particularly, feign, especially, sycophantic, intimate, adequate, vaguely, pleased/pleasing, increasingly, wildly, briefly, comely, conflate, eloquent, ephemeral, lilt, lithe, unravel, spectacularly, and surreptitious.

Oh my god and tremble, plainly, and pocket. I absolutely adore the word pocket.

I just like words in general.

Lately I've taken a liking to the word vapid.
vapid vapid vapid
transient, too
and
clarity

exterior, interior, ulterior, anterior, superior, inferior. aren't they great words?

and things like whatsoever, whosoever, whichever, however.

chivalry is probably my favourite word.

Rickety
Skewed
Deranged
Abashed

Bloody, futile, petty, delightful, scarce, trudge, implode. Yeah, stop, shred, gather, perhaps, docile, corrosive.
Words are nice in general, though, and I could probably list many more that I'm fond of.

amaranthine ( - that's why it's my username)
incredulous
delirium
transition
disillusioned
periphery
nonetheless
hurricane

Flummoxed, because it's so fun to say, and disheveled, which sounds pretty sexy if you ask me.

defenestration: the act of throwing someone through a window.

Definitely my favorite word.

I think the best words in English tend to be Old English / Germanic ones - e.g. sinew, throe, freckle, girth, bud - blossom - bloom - burgeon, they have deep lush (see, another one) sounds.

Wild.

It can mean so many things and conjure up a million different images depending on the context. I just love it.

flabbergasted.

I don't know why, but when I first heard of it, I fell in love <3

Entropy - how something that's so scientific can sound so mystic is beyond me

Glass
Cadet
Atonement
Labyrinth(ine)

Flummoxed. It's such a fun word.

Ablaze.
Wild.
Breeze.
Primadonna.
Debauchery.
Assassinate.

I have no idea why, I just love words in general really.

The first would be "fuck" (and its derivatives), I can't deny it. It's like a...multifaceted word. xD

I've also always loved "indeed" or "definitely" (huge pet peeve of mine when people write "defiantly" instead). I don't know why, guess I have a thing for strongly affirmative words?

"Dolt" and "seldom" are a couple of my favorites. I like words that sound kind of silly like "hornswoggle", or words that mean "silly" like "inane", "absurd", or "preposterous". I like a lot of words. I'd never be able to list them all.

'Antiquity' and 'velvet'. I just really like the way they sound; soft and quiet. :3

Magnanimous is one of my favorites..
I always associate it with Mick Mouse.
