Dirigibility

Favorite Word: Dirigibility

Serendipity

Favorite Word: Serendipity

Why?: It means a happy accident. The idea that sometimes something really nice can happen out of the blue is just a cheerful idea. And every time I say the word, the feel of it on my tongue and lips is bubbly fun. Kind of like speaking champagne bubbles.

Zyzzyva

Favorite Word: Zyzzyva

Why?: It is the last word in many English dictionaries and, at the time of this post, it is the last word in this list. I just like that it is the last word, plus it sounds like bugs are in my head when I think it.
