This was one of the most popular posts from last semester, so I thought I would let you all respond to this one as well.
My two favorite words are cacophony and patina. Cacophony means a harsh combination of sounds. You could use it to describe the sounds in the hallway during class change! I think I just like this word because it is fun to say. The word patina describes the look that an object with age often develops. So, instead of an object appearing bright, shiny, and new, it has become worn and weathered with age. I enjoy this word because I prefer to decorate with things that have developed character and patina over time instead of something that looks freshly purchased from the store. For example, I have a dresser in my house that was my great great grandmother's. It may not be in the best condition, but that is exactly why it has so much meaning.

Hey Mrs. Mcaffry! Your words are very different. They are neat though! If I remember them I will try and use them every once in a while during class. My favorite word is plentiful. It means existing in great plenty. I like the word because it is unique and rarely used. It is hard to say but when you say it, it makes you laugh.

My favorite word would probably be sassyphrass. It is a word that my friend and I use for everything.If somebody around us is getting an attitude we normally will be like "Hey sassyphrass calm down" and then we would describe their clothing,"hey kahaki pants you need to calm down!".I also really like the word penthils.

Restive would have to be my favorite word at the moment. Restive means resisting control or to be stubborn. This word defines me in the sense that i am stubborn and do not budge when i make a desicion, but i think why i like this word so much is because it defines my brother most of all. i have a younger brother that at the moment is going through a very hard time. Through all of the battles he has to face right now he still is just as restive as he was when we were last together and i am proud of him for being stubborn in his beliefs.

My favorite word would have to be laught. I love to laugh . It's probably the greatest thing ever, and it's a really cool word too.
My favorite word is fuzzy. I don't really know why. I guess because when I say it I think of something cute. I felt kind of dumb saying that because most people's favorite words are long and complicated, but after reading most of the comments I felt better. I have favorite words that are long and complicated, but I just can't think of them because I have a really bad memory.
I like the word fransisco. It is very fun to say. Just say it a few times and you'll get really excited for no reason.
My favorite words are spectacular and giggly. They're both exciting and fun. And they represent happiness. Who doesn't like being giggly and be described as spectacular.
My favorite word is Je T'aime. It means I love you in French. I adore the french language and it was the first word in that language I ever learned.
My favorite word would have to be irate. It sounds better than just saying angry or mad and it is more sophisticated.
My favorite word would have to be serendipity. It means an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident. Ever, since I watched the movie it has become my favorite. The word seems to stick in your mind for some reason, because its so different that's why I like it.
There are lots of words I like, but my favorite word is artist. Because it can mean two different things. Currently two different things I am. It can mean A artist as in recording artist. Also it can mean an artist as in art, paintings, sculptures, etc. Being A artist is more like A hobby, I like to draw on my free time or whenever I can. Although, being A recording artist, is one of my dreams. I have been working hard to achieve my dream. I have performed in A some clubs, got paid plenty of times for my performances. Artist is definitely one of my favorite words.

My favorite word is mighty. It means powerful, gigantic, grand, and magnificent. It's just my favorite word because it so powerful sounding and its easy to pronounce.
My favorite word is strength. When most people think of strength they think of big muscles, but to me it means the desire to achieve a goal and what you put into it to achieve that goal. I'm not quite sure why I like the word, but it means a lot when I say it so I guess thats why.
My favorite word would have to be serendipity. Serendipity means a series of accidents that turns out for the good or that shows you your fate. There is a restraunt in New York City that I love called Serendipity. The restraunt actually is shot in the movie Serendipity. Both of which are great and if you get the chance to see the movie, which is older, or eat at the restraunt, it is a definite!
