Our Favorite Words
We enjoy getting to know our clients—and you know we always like to have a little fun with words. So we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite words. Please tell us your favorite word by posting a reply!
Dan: Thusly. Like thus, only cooler.
Frank: Persevere.
Hermine: Friend. I find it a very comforting word.
Joi: Bumptious. An adjective meaning presumptuously, obtusely, and often noisily self-assertive; obtrusive.
Jon: Light.
Kriste: Onomatopoeia. I love the definition (words that sound like what they are, like swoosh, zap, etc.), and the word onomatopoeia just is fun to say; I think so anyway!
Lisa: Chesapeake.
Liz: Ameliorate has always grabbed my attention because it sounds like an alligator named Amelia ate something. I think this is especially funny because, when you use the word, it implies trying to make things better, not gobbling up something too big to chew.
Margaret: Prestidigitation.
Maria: Chocolate.
Marissa: Whimsicality. Aside from being a pretty word to say and see, what it means is equally as attractive.
Matt: Taco (only if the word free is in front of it) or historicity.
Meg: Serendipity—to discover something when looking for something else. Isaac Asimov said about serendipity: ‘The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’, but ‘That’s funny…’”
Pamela: Electromagnetic.
Ronnie: Grace. My second favorite word is antidisestablishmentarianism because I remember my grandfather teaching it to me before I started going to school. He thought it was an important thing for me to know.*
Simone: Free.
Shawn: Parsimonious. I enjoy the flow of the way it was defined by my high school English teacher the best—cheap,stingy, miserly. I like when definitions have words in them that you also need to look up, which miserly was in that case. Oddly enough, the word parsimonious is not a part of miserly’s definition.
Steve: Fuligin, both a color and a textile having that color, associated with the Guild of Torturers in Gene Wolfe’s book The Shadow of the Torturer. The color is described as “blacker than black” and also as “the color of soot.”
Wendy: I’m feeling somewhat partial to serendipity for its meaning, as well its pronunciation. Such a blithe, lyrical sound!
* Ronnie’s note: “Two people chose serendipity. Isn’t that serendipity-ous (LOL)!”
