DUers, What are your top three favorite words?

[KitchenWitch]

[punpirate]

1. That's difficult, because...

... there are so many. Reducing the list down to its essence, though:

"Fuckemall" (always said as one word)

"Shit"

"Sonofabitch" (same as above)

What else could they be living in the uncivilized Bush Times? :P

[saltpoint]

2. Mine are --

-- scrimshaw, iota, and codswallop.

[KitchenWitch]

5. codswallop

that is a good one. I like scrimshaw (that is the etched art on stone isn't it?)

[saltpoint]

8. Hi, KitchenWitch. Yes -- etched art on stone --

-- I heard Gordon Lightfoot talk about his scrimshaw collection in concert once and since then I pay odd attention to it.

This is a fun post. Thanks.

[KitchenWitch]

9. anytime!

[enigmatic]

3. "Here's some money!"

Heh.

[Aristus]

4. Intrepid, constellation, and mirage.

All the names of ships, too.

[NightTrain]

6. Since you asked....

In alphabetical order:

AMERICA - Because I still believe in my country despite what the goddamned fucking Bush Junta continues to do to it.

FALAFEL - Because it sounds so damned funny. Of course, O'Reilly had to go and fuck this one up for me, the cocksucker.

MOTHERFUCKER - Way more expressive than just plain old "fuck."

[Stop_the_War]

7. discombobulated n/t

[stellanoir]

10. three sets of three

mellifluous, ephemeral, & interdimensional

and

Peace, Love, & Understanding

and

Woh-oh-oh

[Huckebein the Raven]

11. My list:

Dimson
Jackass
Rather

[98geoduck]

12. ubiquitous

[Mojambo]

13. Tart, Quibble, and Jalopy n/t

[Bok_Tukalo]

14. Vomit, Fuck, and Feet

The first because it is the best example of a word that sounds like what it denotes.

(Wince is another one)

The second because I am an American and that is THE American swear.

(If I were British, it would be bloody. If I were French, it would be merde)

The third because it is funny to use in almost any context with the exception of its proper context.

("I feel like feet" or "The movie was great except for all the feet" OK, hard to explain)

[aQuArius]

15. bipolar, snarf & incestuous

[fleabert]

16. fuck, troglodyte, anti-penultimate-----nt

[qnr]

17. deleted, just because
