Favorite Words

I have several favorite words. Now, I'm not talking about liking a word because of it's denotation and/or connotation. I am simply referring to the aesthetic value of the words. I like the way they sound and look. Here are a few of them: serendipitous, prestidigitation, phrenetic, stalwart, Gump, Malcolm, aviator, Titan, megalomaniac, schizophrenic, diamond, Jesus, coronary, incalculable, machine, logarithm, diarrhea, shirk, Congo, frumpy (oh, and by the way, I believe that "Jesus Christ" is the greatest-sounding combination of syllables in the history of the spoken word, and I'm not just saying that because of my faith; I think it beats the hell out of that "cellar door" crap). And there you go. Some of my favorite words to say and hear. I know what you're thinking. "This guy is weird, and a little sad. I can't believe he actually sat down and wrote out his favorite words." I have two things to say to you. First, it's a great way to kill about fifteen minutes. Second, I'm not the one sitting all alone in front of a computer reading a list of someone else's favorite words. Get a hobby, dude. (Or, better yet, leave me a list of your favorites. I'd love to read 'em.)

I like the words acquiesce, rotund, and magnanimous, also. I don't know why I forgot them.
