favourite word?

I actually have a running list of favourite words....

And I must say that "akimbo" is definitely high-ranking. (Followed shortly thereafter by "sprightly" and "spoodily"((which is not actually a word, I don't think, but is fun to say none the less)).)

Akimbo is such a fun word. Even if you don't know what it means, it just has a nice sound to it. Sprightly makes you think of frolicking faeries (pronounced fa-EER-ees, when it's spelled like that..... Not really, but that's how I like to say it and Jorri and Kathryn tend to agree.) in some magickal (pronounced the same way as the regular "magical") woods with talking trees and the like. Spoodily is.... oh I don't even know. It's just really fun to say, not that I say it that often. *shrug*
