    That's right, tell me your favourite word (in English preferably ;) ) and explain why you think it's so awesome.

    My favourite is definitely "Perhaps". It's the summary of life: uncertainty, surprise, and it has this weird mystique thing. Just try saying it out loud (with a British accent). :p

    Suppose

    Just nod slowly and say "I suppose..." and you can get out of any conversation topic that you don't like.

    obfuscate is probably mine based on its use in the phrase "eschew obfuscatusion"

    Peasant.
    I tend to use this word a lot, to describe the great ignorant masses that comprise the majority of humanity :p
    btw: for pronunciation of 'stiekem': the 'ie' is pronounced like the 'e' in 'evil' but 'shorter' and the 'em' like 'um'

    My mother's is melifluous.
    My brother's is discombobulate.
    But I can never pin down my own. In Latin it is definitely vastare, in French it's ancienne, in German I love abendlandischen, I'm partial to akolouthia in Greek, but English (my native tongue) gets me every time.

    Here's the word that strikes me right now: mandibular.

    I think I slightly misunderstood the 'question'.
    Stiekem (on the sly) is a word I just use often. Anything I say I am about to do, will be 'stiekem'.

    A word I like since a few months is Proleet (Vulgarian in English). To me, a proleet (pro-LAYT) is somebody who doesn't have a very good job, but spends loads of money on his car (his most important show-off), earrings, necklaces, 'these fine leather jackets', home-entertainment system and other expensive goods. All very rich compaired to his brain.

    'Lets discuss' is a phrase I have been using a lot.

    'Easy' could be my favorite word. Describes everything from, my attitude to my life right now.

    'F***' is the all time favorite ofcourse. A couple of years back I would use it so often, a friend actually sent me a forward full of its uses with the Topic "Your Favourite Word"
