Some words conjure up a certain sentimental feeling inside of us; some words are just plain fun to say or look great on paper. Some words are totally obscure in the coolest way possible; others are genius in their simplicity. So attention all wordies! Calling all linguists! What words do you just love?

I’m kind of an anatomy nerd. It’s the first and shortest part of the small intestine. It’s just so much fun to say. Do-odd-num.

It’s sweet, simple, not overly effusive, but still conjures up images of lovely-ness.

Quixotic! It means extravagantly chivalrous or romantic, visionary, impulsive, rashly unpredictable, impractical, illogical, caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals, romantic disregard for money…
In other words, it’s me! 

(Msg me on Facebook and I will tell you a great story you will LOVE about this word ;) )

Randomness is a lack of order, purpose, cause, or predictability.
I know, it’s a little overused these days, but I use it all the time. This word especially describes my life, life in general, and my sense of humor. Just random, very very random.

I can’t seem to position my text box correctly in this guide, so I’d like to add my contributions via comment. I adore the words callipygian, waft, and areola. Cheers!
