'Words'

This is a very simple topic with only three questions with different parts to them.

1. What are your favourite words? Why are they your favourite (is it their definition, how they sound, what they mean to you, etc)? When do you use these words (be specific)?

For me, my absolute favourite word is 'Gucci' (Goo-Chee) mainly because of how it sounds. I don't think it has a specific meaning, it's just the name of a brand-type of clothing. I use this term as a nickname for my black cat, Luna. We call her numerous times 'Gucci' and 'Gucc'. We also made up our own definition for the word. 'Gucci' meaning to tickle.

My other favourite word is 'Chichiue' which is Japanese for 'Father' (used by royalty and high-status people). Just by looking at the word, you cannot pronounce it correctly. You have to hear it first instead. 'Schew-Ei' (that's as good as I can write it). Again, it's just by how the word is said as to why I like it.

2. What are your least favourite words? Why are they your least favourite (is it their definition, how they seem similar to something, how they are used, etc)? How did you come to not likes these words?

My least-favourite words are dual-meaning words, made up by todays youth. They are stupid and highly innapropriate by definition and how they are used in a sentence. I dispise them all, really, being one who likes only perfect english. I've always hated these words too, yet more and more keep appearing out of nowhere.

3. Have you made up your own words? What are they called and what do they mean? Use them in a sentence...

No need to go all nuts and start posting essay-like responses with in-depth research and whatnot. Just be specific. Be as creative, humourous, etc with your response. Don't just choose english words too. Do you have any favourite Japanese, Greek, Russian, Italian, etc, words?
