What's your favourite word?

Question

I find this question very difficult to answer, for as soon as I think of one I like, I think of others I like just as much, or more. So, if you can think of your favourite word without hesitation, then please let me know. Also, do you like it for its sound, or meaning, or both?

Answer 28

possible. Of all the words that I like...and there are a great many of them...possible is the one I thought of immediately.

Answer 29

bollocks

Answer 30

I think if you use a certain word more than others, and a lot, then you have more affinity for it, just because you use it more.

For some reason I like the words "inherent" and "intrinsic." perhaps because I like the idea of being integrated and whole, since I'm not.

However, how is this a philosophical subject?

Answer 31

Crepuscular.

It just rolls nicely off the tongue.
