Another one of my favorite words is horchata. In order for it to be fun to say, though, you must say it with a Spanish-speaking accent! It's so much fun! ;)

Bubble.... I just like the way it rolls out of your mouth!
squirrel.... especially the way some british people say it... (like Hammond from Top Gear)

- Oblivious! My favorite word! Whoo!
- D'oh! After my beloved Homer Simpson.
- Crabits. Taken from the gibberish talk from the people in The Sims game.
- Detrimental. The word is pretty cool sounding.
- Chorale. It just sounds like it rings.

basically every word in this quotation:
“They weren't yells, or howls, or shouts, or whoops, or yawps, such as you'd expect from a manly set of vocal organs--they were simply indecent, terrifying, humiliating screams, such as women emit when they see ghosts or caterpillars.” ["The Ransom of Red Chief" by O'Henry]

Well, I have a blackout. I've got tons of favourite words but they just won't come to my mind.

"Avalanche" is a great word... ;)
