Tell us about your favorite word

Let us know your favorite word and, more importantly, why it’s your favorite. Childhood memories are welcome.

Please keep in mind that this website is open to readers of all ages, so we do exercise some selectivity in the words that we post.

Your entry may be lightly edited for grammar and punctuation, but don’t count on it. If you’d like to look up a word before sending it in, you can do so here.

No word should be considered “taken” if an entry for it already exists. Go for it.

Your word doesn’t have to be English, but please explain it for those of us who don’t speak whatever it is.

Please, please, do not type in all caps, and if you have more than one word to send in, please use separate entries.

Style Note: You may wish to consider the fact that the proprietor of this site is beginning to hate the phrase “rolls off the tongue.”

Privacy Policy: We will never, under any circumstances, sell or otherwise distribute your e-mail address or other personal information.
