We have been having a spiffing nattero about words . The words we use every day , which are the same as we type in here .
So chums what are your favorite words ?

I like words too much to have favourites. But there are some that are fun to read and hear in my head like mellifluous (ironically), ones that are fun to say like Popocatépetl, magnanimous and phenomenon and ones that are fun to write like oeuvre and banana. I am also a fan of shenanigans. And scurrilous harlotry. |

"Salubrious. I adore that word. Pulchritudinous also. And quintessential. I also love saying the words meander and superfluous. I love this language."
Language is so jolly delicious |

 I adore the fact pulchritudinous looks like it means the direct opposite. It really tickles me. |

"Seems to against most people but 'moist' I find quite amusing."
A (now retired) biology teacher I know said that it was impossible to use the words 'moist' and 'moisture' in class without the class falling about hysterically. |

"Recently discovered "vellichor", which is wonderful. "
Yes! Many years ago whilst watching an episode of Call My Bluff they had a word that meant having a hairy arse. I didn't make a note of it and have been trying to remember it ever since. As a result of your vellichor reference and me googling the etymology I re-discovered in a list of words associated with another favourite of mine, callipygian. So decades later I shall finally be able to use the term dasypygal. Thank you! |

"Tokenism.
I am not racist I have some black/asian friends.
Your mother tongue has some beauties though. Pamplemousse, papillon and parapluie for starters (sorry, I got on a P tip)."
Haha now I would love to hear you saying those  , especially parapluie |

"Not really a word but I use "ooerr" for anything that's unintended as a double entendre. It's from "Filthy Rich and Catflap". Insane sitcom with Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson."
Yes |

I've always quite liked repugnant he he he. Sculduggery just came to mind too.
Do any of you intelligent people know the word for a 'thirst for knowledge'? I'm sure I saw it on Word of the Day on my dictionary app once but I've never been able to remember it.. Unless I dreamt it!

Epistemophilia might work. Apart from the fact the word reminds me of epididymis, which is something else entirely. |

Thank you ladies!! I think it's the first - epistemophilia, well that was the Word of the Day. It definitely isn't the one relating to testicular bits and bobs he he he |
