My favourite word ever
is 'oblong' I don't know why, it just somehow cheers me up.

My favourite is "subfusc",
with "charabanc" in a rather distant second.
An acquaintance of mine is inordinately fond of the word "catflap".

I think my favourite
is defenestration. Both for the sound and the meaning.

And the historical significance
The second defenestration of Prague (I think it was the second one) was the spark that started the Thirty Years War, one of the most brutal conflicts in human history.

There are too, too many lovely-sounding words in the english language to have a constant favourite....
but 'meritritious' & 'coprolalia' tickle me today.

Meretricious is a good choice
From the Latin 'Metetrix', or prostitute. It's quite a nice way of calling someone a whore without them knowing, I find.

I did not know that.
...and if we're talking words, then "egregious" I love, as it can mean:
- Shockingly bad or
- Remarkably good.
which is ace.

Always reminds me of that bit in The League of Gentlemen
"Would you say you had an egregious personality?"

Clip, please.
I think I watched all of that, but that rings no bells.

Had a quick look but couldn't find it before.
It's one of Pauline's exchanges with Ross, where they're doing a mock job interview, and he asks if they can switch places and he'll be the interviewer, and then asks her questions she doesn't understand.
Would look a bit harder for it, but I'm at work and ostensibly quite busy.
Ostensibly also being a good word...

Reciprocity
Just the sound, nothing to do with the meaning
