What are your seven favorite words?
Mine:
- enthusiasm
- ektachrome
- converge
- indubitably
- blue
- dude
- seven
Reasons:
Enthusiasm: Because just say it!
Ektachrome: Not sure why I love it. It’s a type of slide film that I love, but I also just love the word. The way it’s spelled, the way it looks, the way it sounds.
Converge: Because of the way it sounds and what it means.
Indubitably: It makes me laugh. Just thinking it. Not sure I can pronounce it correctly.
Blue: What’s not to love?
Dude: Don’t like the way it sounds. The way it looks is funny. But dude, I use it all the time.
Seven: I love everything about it.

I’m more aware of words I dislike, but I’ll try to select my favorites.
Chocolate (I’m sure you can guess why)
luxurious (There’s this line in Much Ado About
Nothing, “She has felt the heat of a luxurious bed!” Makes me laugh.)
Fascinating
Vomit (hate vomit, but the word makes me laugh for some reason)
Ginormous (not a real word, but Will Ferrell uses it in “Elf”)
Laughter
Butchered (like “She butchered that song.”)
