Delicious

It sounds so good. I have been told I am delicious. How much better does it get?

Persnickety

Fussy about small details, related to fastidious and pedantic. Don’t be so persnickety.

Crepuscular

Describes (animals’) habit of being active at dawn and dusk. Many interesting and otherwise cute animals fall into this category, including most of the common companion animals (dog, cat, ferret, etc.). Besides, the word just has a certain ring to it.

Kat

Poppycock

Always stops people when they’re full of it. More effective when you emphasize the last syllable. Besides, it’s a very funny word in itself.
