Ah, I don't really have. I like some archaic words, but purely because no one knows them, and they have queer spellings. I also like to use words that've been corrupted into something foul, like "queer" and "gay" etc., and use them with that other meaning that these words have, besides derogatory nicknames for homosexuals.

Also, indeed. It is indeed a mighty fine word. Indeed.

And fuck. It's awesome. You can add emphasis with it (thus magnifying the intended effect). You can sound angry with it, more amused with it, a badass with it, or even just a rude and tactless dirtbag.

It's such a great word.

My favorite word is "fisticuffs". I love to say, "I hope you are practiced in your pugilism, for it is time for a rousing bout of fisticuffs! Put up your dukes!"
I also like words that mean "evil", like "Malevolent" and "Nefarious". They just drip of the tongue... very sinisterly.

"A lung disease caused by the inhalation of fine silica dust causing severe inflamation"

45 letters long and said to be the longest word in an English Language Dictionary, if you can find me one longer I'd love to know. I'm somewhat of a collector of useless information

I just like it cause of the look of terror people have on their faces when you say it or ask them to read it out
Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon has 183 letters. It probably doesn't count, though. It's a fictional dish from Aristophanes' Assemblywomen.

Edit: Holy crap, it doesn't even fit the page!

'Tactical'. All sorts of good things begin with the word 'tactical', like 'tactical vest' or 'tactical air support' or 'tactical nuclear strike'.

I can technically go one better, if we use a particular chemical formulae, it is technically in english, though its easy to dispute its not actually a word.

It's 189,819 letters long.

To post it would most likely be spam so here is the link:

OT: my fav word is bobber.
