AND YOU BETTER GOD DAMN USE MY FAVOURITE WORD!
Damn you Ninja Grammar Nazi!

OT: I quite like "curmudgeon" and anything said by Stephen Fry
Ha! Father always told me I was better than you! I guess he was right.
Father was wrong, you just go into O-TD more than I do.

My favorite word is Enforcer, it's the nickname given to me by friends and what I use in my Air Force JROTC Wing as my future callsign.

Not only does it sound awesome, it also helps easily and quickly explain why I get the name.

Another word is Indeed, I just love that word as well. Indeed, my friend. (Makes me feel smart :) )

I like anything traditionally only used by the English.
e.g. bugger, wanker, bloody
Bugger off you sodding wanker of a bloody ninja. [sub]fish and chips[/sub]

I have a tendency to use vastly more complex linguistic structures than is actually required of any given statement or response, so the words for which I express a preference are those that permit me to utilise as large a range of my extensive vocabulary as possible, in order to make me sound more intelligent. Or possible merely like a pretentious wanker.

Although I do like the word 'somnambulism' - sounds much better than sleepwalking.

My favorite words are actually latin, which English and most Euro languages are based on (German is the exception).
"Vae victus", which means "woe to the vanquished".

Aweomse sounding with an awesome meaning.

Homogenization is also a nice word it means breaking apart cells releasing organelles and cytoplasm
because you can never have enough cytoplasm which is also a nice word!

Having been beaten to the punch on "your" at least twice, I shall choose a word I have never used: verisimilitude. I intend to use it in place of "groovy" if I ever get an appropriate opportunity to do so.

"Gnash", because there's no real equivalent of it in any other language that I am aware of. "Gnaw", as well, because there's very few languages with a word that's quite the same.

Jesus. That's a pretty cool name.

In fact, in the world cup final between the Netherlands and Spain, at around the half way point of the game, Spain subbed on a player named Jesus. I call unfair advantage.
That's fucking amazing.

OT: Pretty much anything remotely considered swearing and/or offensive.

I love the word Gratuitous. It just rolls off the tongue, and it's kind of obscure but not so much that nobody understands you. I use it all the time. SOME might even say I use it...
too much.

Father wasn't wrong, don't speak ill of our father! And you know what else father was right about? I am not good with acronyms, from which stems the fact that I hate them.

What's O-TD, brother?

On topic: I also like the word "blasphemous". When you say it out loud, the start of the word and the end of the word rhyme. Blasssphemoussss. Y'know.
Also, another form of it ("blasphemy") is pretty much a catch-all phrase for anything someone does that you don't like. And it reminds me of a medieval clergyman.

Obvious joke? The obvious joke here would've been to say that you use the word "gratuitous" a bit too...gratuitously.

Why did you say...

...

"...too much"? Why? WHY?!

FATHER WAS WRONG ABOUT MOTHER!
And O-TD is Off-Topic Discussion.

Oh, and I believe Call tricked you into thinking he was making the obvious joke of saying gratuitous, but then didn't.
I believe the term used on TVTropes.org is Averted. (Or subverted, I can never remember. Either way, it was played with)
