What is your favourite word or phrase? Be it long, short, common, rare or just plain weird. I like p45 - if anyone else knows its full version and arachibutyrophobia - fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth.:eek:

I don't have a favourite word, but if I did, it would involve the letter 'l', the letter 'b' and the letter 'm'. They're just funny letters.

I like Discombobulated, and also confuzzled, both of which describe me perfectly..

also quite fond of bimble and catatonic, I often manage to combine all four of these states simultaneously

Im also quite enamoured with the phrase "Fancy a Pint kitten?" or similar :D

confuzzled is a typical northern English combination and contraction of confused and puzzled, I think it was first used by Lewis Carrol (a Good Cheshire Lad)

Discombobulated has been similarly used for many years within the region,

True...doesn't have the right ring to it though.
I also like the word continuum. Despite the lack of an l or a b.

Coincidence, yes. Miffed muff? Let's see, how do I explain this. Miffed is like upset and muff is a vagina. I guess it's basically a pissed off woman.

I like styptic, syzygy, weltanschauung, and floccinaucinihilipilification, which is exactly what it defines (of little or no value).

I hate the words Kroger and the phrase "At any rate".
Sketchkat

Irrelevant.

My favourite word is phantasmagoria

That's my favourite word as well :D

I also like Gimp, Beatnik, Eureka and Conflabbit (another word for 'God-damn-it').

My favourite quote is "Reality is just an illusion,albeit,a very persistent one." by Albert Einstein.

My favourite phrase is the first few lyrics of Coldplay-Fix You

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse...
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse...

Ah yes, I am a Coldplay fan - and proud of it ;)

Deadish. Used in zombie movies.

Appy-polly-loggies. Used by british maniac hoodlooms.

Anyone seen the Monthy Python sketch where the overclass couple discuss words? Certain words are "tinny"(bad) and others are "woody"(good). It's hysterical. "Concubine. Loose Woman! Erogenous Zones! *Get's a bucket of water poured over him* Sorry dear, it's just that all the naughty words are woody! Wife: What about tit?"

Of or pertaining to dilettanteism; amateur; as, dilettant speculation

This word effectively replaced the term 'noob' for me and my neighbors during Halo2 matches.
