Galley-west. One of my favorite words is galley-west. To be knocked galley-west is to be knocked askew or to become confused. I picked it up from reading the Word Detective column, but that's not why I like it so. As soon as I read it I knew that galley-west and I would have a lifelong relationship, probably because I am confused and askance so often myself. Finally, here was a word that encompassed my very nature! Plus, okay, yes, it does sound great. It sounds kind of like a mix between well-bred vocabulary and regional dialect. MK Shaeffer

Gossamer. In fact, my favorite word is gossamer. I was startled to see it listed right there on the My Favorite Word web page. Gossamer: "a film of cobwebs floating in air in calm clear weather." It sounds good, it feels good, it even "pictures" good. I mean, you just can't beat a word with that much going for it. And what a definition! S. Flint |

Gullywhomper. This means a very heavy rainfall. You can also say Gullywhumper. Personally I like whumper better. A local weatherman from Maine used to use this word all the time in his weather predictions. Whenever Hilton used this word, you just knew it was gonna be a bad one! Judy
