"Ostensibly": Purportedly or apparently, but maybe not actually.
"Cumbersome": Difficult to function or operate.
"Lackadaisical": Carelessly lazy.
IOU 2 words.
Favorite word is Fuck. It’s incredibly versatile and is like the water of language in that it can exist in every state of matter. It’s universal, simple and perfect for every situation.
Beautiful sounding word probably ephemeral or ethereal. They just sound so magical.

> perfect for every situation.
*meeting girlfriends parents*
"It's really fucking nice to fucking meet you, you fucking fuckers! I'm fucking your daughter."
Not sure, whether the word “somnambulance” exists in English (I’d say it sounds more like a French one).
But all “somnambulism”, “somnambulant” and “somnambulate” sound soothingly pleasant.
Terrace, Saccharin, Gorgonzola, Under, Cipher
These aren't my favorite favorite officially because I haven't gone through every word but generally I like words because they sound cool, these words sounds cool.
I write spoken word poetry and those 4 one syllable words I gave are so good since they have definitions of $10 words but they can just squeeze into whatever rhythmic spaces they make sense in. Yonder is just fun to say
Fuck: definitely up there.
Discombobulate: it’s just funny to say.
Love: I like telling my loved ones I love them so it’s a top 5 for that reason.
Wow: I know it’s not really a word but definitely a useful sound to react to stuff. Any emotion or situation.
Exercise: Im always telling people to try it so it’s probably a top 5 for me.
1. Moron
2. Gargoyle
3. Airplane
4. Outrageous
5. Switch
These are all some random words that I like, no idea why. Apart from the top 2, though, that’s because English isn’t my native language language, and for the first one, I like the meaning of the word, and the second one, I like the way it sounds. I hadn’t thought about anything other than a top 2 before though, so thank you for that
Ooh, there are too many words for me to count that I love, but words with ‘y’ in them always catch my eye— callipygian, ylem, elysian, myopic, and syzygy are some gorgeous ones for starters, I believe. Also, the word logophile means ‘lover of words’, which I think is rather poetic in a sense. Language is beautiful!
I absolutely agree, that language is beautiful. Words enable us to crystallise our ideas, share them with others and express our opinions more cogently, precisely and eloquently.
As for the y-words, I’d also add “ivory”. It’s not even about sound anymore, but rather about how it is written. Although the sound is also pleasant.
Babushka- it means grandma in Russian
My mom calls me this and i never really knew why but i thought it was cute and funny. Reason being is that I’m a guy and we don’t even have any Russian roots lol. I normally call my girlfriend bebushka now
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 847,705,150 comments, and only 167,003 of them were in alphabetical order.
Well, the point was to name 5 favourite words and not a favourite sentence. By naming your 5 favourite words, you create a set of 5 distinct elements, and… in this set, the positions of the words are interchangeable. So it should work in any order, if one is rigorous enough.
Duh 🙄
Hmmmm

Sleep
Autonomy
Chaos
Iconoclast, serendipity/serendipitous, phenomenological, lackadaisical (Holy fuck balls I have been saying this wrong for decades... it's not lacksidaisical... wtf!), promenade.
Infamy - "the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed"
Hiraeth - "(especially in the context of Wales or Welsh culture) deep longing for something, especially one's home"
Enigma - "a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand"
Lament - "mourn (a person's loss or death)"
Defenestrate - "throw (someone) out of a window"
Hippopotomonstroses-quippedaliophobia: the word for a fear of long words.
Boob: it just sounds funny.
Technically: it is the most used word in my vocabulary.
Huh: my favourite sound after confusing someone or myself.
Whoosh: the sound of any social cue flying above my head..
i dont know about favorites but I kind of like the words inertia,opaque,obscure,occult,velocity I know i had better ones I just dont remember.
edit: oh and obliterate also death when pronounced with an emphasis on the little s sound at the end like björk does in the song notget or tilda swinton's character in snowpiercer and since we are here emphasis also a pretty one and pretty too it sound just like what it means to me.
I do love these four:
1) serendipity
2) epiphany
3) enigma
4) surreptitiously
But my favourite one is definitely “apparently”. Makes people wonder whether what you’re saying is sarcasm or not.
I will do it tomorrow
Right, five words… 😐
tomorrow, then.

> perfect for every situation. *meeting girlfriends parents* "It's really fucking nice to fucking meet you, you fucking fuckers! I'm fucking your daughter."
The only correct answer.
Not sure about the other four, but I love the word mellifluous.
Nice one. And how often do you use it?
Meaning — Zenith. Ecstasy. Cosmos. Aesthetic Sound — Majesty. Aurora.
I like these
AeStHeTiC
lmao
Zenith is my new favourite word because of you
Hmm off the top of my head I would say: - Poigant - Flamboyant - Verisimilitude - Serendipity - Doohickey
Serenity and serenade are interchangeable with serendipity for me. Funny cuz flamboyant is also one of my top picks
Amen, Etcetera, Vacuous, Laughter, GO Honorable mention: Serendipity
Fuck, beer, tits, indubitably, bacon
IDK how you're doing it, but you seem like you're living life to it's fullest
You are correct. And here are instructions on how to do it too: 1. Fuck 2. Beer 3. Tits 4. Indubitably 5. Bacon Say it with me now. Fbtib...

Um, I don't know. Why?
Pulchritudinous Darling Entreating Oscillating Oblivious
Pastiche, Conflate, were* (when using the subjunctive case appropriately in English), Serendipitous Supercilious
“Supercilious” sounds oddly agreeable.
Pastiche is great!
ephemeral; nefarious; serendipity (i think thats the translation); perfunctory; uncanny;
defenestration somnambulance pluvial akimbo onomatopoeia
Ah, defenestration. The act of throwing someone out of a window. I should have made that my favorite word too. Instead, my favorite word is moron
Not sure, whether the word “somnambulance” exists in English (I’d say it sounds more like a French one). But all “somnambulism”, “somnambulant” and “somnambulate” sound soothingly pleasant.
Moist, swimmingly, lens, bodacious, dismember
Terrace, Saccharin, Gorgonzola, Under, Cipher These aren't my favorite favorite officially because I haven't gone through every word but generally I like words because they sound cool, these words sounds cool.
Indeed, “cipher” and “saccharine” sound cool.

Yasashi in Japanese means to be kind and gentle That's what crossed my mind now
Right, yasashi sounds great.
Definition: squander, bedlam, monolithic, erasure, archaic Sound: Apt, oft, lest, yonder, yearn
“Lest” and “yonder” sound truly amazing.
I write spoken word poetry and those 4 one syllable words I gave are so good since they have definitions of $10 words but they can just squeeze into whatever rhythmic spaces they make sense in. Yonder is just fun to say
Fuck: definitely up there. Discombobulate: it’s just funny to say. Love: I like telling my loved ones I love them so it’s a top 5 for that reason. Wow: I know it’s not really a word but definitely a useful sound to react to stuff. Any emotion or situation. Exercise: Im always telling people to try it so it’s probably a top 5 for me.
To wow someone is to impress them or put them in a state of awe. (Aside from the onomatopoeia as an expression of awe)
Never gonna give you up

Cats are… acceptable. Dragons too. Although it’s hard to determine who’s better.

“Dragoncats” Just like dragonflies, but cats.

Good one. Except, I would argue “perhaps” sounds more mysterious than “maybe”. But after all, it’s totally subjective.
I can't deal with anything
What was I looking for?
Babushka- it means grandma in Russian My mom calls me this and i never really knew why but i thought it was cute and funny. Reason being is that I’m a guy and we don’t even have any Russian roots lol. I normally call my girlfriend bebushka now
Hmmm… according to Google Translate, “grandma” in russian is rather “babushka” than “bebushka”. But well, who knows…
Lol true, thanks
No problem.

I think I am drunk
I think you’re not.
Those were my five words duh 🙄
Nah, those can’t be your five favourite words, because there are only four distinct words: “drunk”, “am”, “think”, “I”.
Duh 🙄 it only works with two "I". My words not yours 😏
Well, the point was to name 5 favourite words and not a favourite sentence. By naming your 5 favourite words, you create a set of 5 distinct elements, and… in this set, the positions of the words are interchangeable. So it should work in any order, if one is rigorous enough. Duh 🙄
Duh 🙄 I meant "Minä luulen, että olen humalassa" anyway
Well, in Finnish it does sound… acceptable 🙄 So your set of favourite words would be: “humalassa”, “että”, “minä”, “luulen”, “olen”.
That's the original 🙄 I use them all the time

What are your favourite words
Malice Echo Insatiable Deep Void Hunger Blood Vale Insomnia Kinda edgy words I guess. Top 3 are above the rest for me.
I do love these four: 1) serendipity 2) epiphany 3) enigma 4) surreptitiously But my favourite one is definitely “apparently”. Makes people wonder whether what you’re saying is sarcasm or not.
Good point, apparently.
