Ape.

For so many reasons.

Other words that I like: quark (since we are made of them) and ai (Japanese for love).

What can I say? I like Japan and particle physics. Besides, eigo is so inelegant.

Other Japanese words I like: ohanami (sakura viewing), baka (idiot), neko (cat), and rei (if you know me, you know why).

Desperation:
1 : loss of hope and surrender to despair
2 : a state of hopelessness leading to rashness

How could I forget brachiate (or brachiation)? 'Such a great word. Same with bone names, like clavicle or occipital or zygomatic. Classically derived words are the best (innocuous, facetious, philander, synergism, etc).

I like "dissipate" and "borborygmus" although I rarely ever have the opportunity to use either.

I tend to make up a lot of words too with my latest one being "screepy" which essentially is the combination of scary and creepy only more intense in meaning. :P

Googleshnarf... Dont ask >_>


And "grrah".



And my favorite other language word is... Konichiwa. It just is a cool word, and it means HI. (I dont know if I spelled it wrong, I think thats right.)

A few more of my favorite words: Thy, thou, dagnabit, hence, wence, hither, yon, basically words you only hear in stories about King Arthur or on Frasier.

It is really fun to use words that lost all meaning to modern man :P

I just thought of another word I really love: Tasogare. It's Japanese for twilight, and....I dunno, I just love the sound of it <3
