    @ susan . I always thought "homunculus" was like someone horking a goober. (Now there's a visual eh?!!)

    @ kat. What's with the knob/nob fascination? Unless.... Ooooo, I don't wanna go there!!  : )

    Hey guys, it's ok to have small words as favorites too.  For the most part, I'd probably all call you out for being the word police.

    Mine are:

    pho
    meat
    pork
    bacon
    oxyphenbutazone -- Susan, I hope you know why!  haha.

    One of the guys at work constantly says "sweet sassy molassey" to the point where I find myself thinking it all on my own.

    Matt: Obviate is the greatest word ever that nobody ever believes is a real word. I don't think I've ever used it in public without having to explain its definition - and since getting an iPhone, having to look it up online to prove I'm not lying.

    Inane is another one in that category - everyone assumes you misspelled insane.

    @Susan - You probably already know this, but the word serendipity comes from the old sanskrit name for Sri Lanka. Before it was known as Ceylon, it was known as Serendip.

    My favorite words:
    moon
    dog
    dastardly

    My favorite derogatory terms:
    gravymopper
    heel
    mongoloid (or just 'loid)
