I nominate the word "debauchery". It sounds great and very fitting for its intended meaning. I think everyone should have a weekend of debauchery at least once in their lifetime.

What other nominations do people have for great words?

Plethora, Judicial, Plinth, Moist, Exacerbate, Pamphlet are a few I like

Idiosyncractic, Gumption, Hell-bent (a word?), ubiquitous, fanny

Scrumpious & twisted...can think of some funny Scots but most people would not understand (mind I hardly speak it myself).

I like "defenestration". Such an important sounding word for such a stupid activity.

Superfluous

Ed, surely the word ubiquitous should never be followed by the word fanny?!

As for fave words, I'd have to nomiate minion and fiend! Just say them out-loud!

Spatula, oxymoron, paradox, myriad, flange (sorry)

Don't say oxymoron on here. Last time I used it I got lambasted (another great word) by an angry Dutchman in Glasgow.

Ooo and cacophony

I like impeccable.

I like the word 'florid'.

I like trituration - I used it in my thesis and one of the examiners asked me if it was a real word!

I'm with juno. Defenestration - it never ceases to amaze me that there is even a word for that.

Alibi...it sounds sordid, yet sexy.

Micturition is another good word hehe
