Writer's Block: Words that you love and hate
What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?
My favorite word is joy. Just the sound of the word fills me with the emotion. Joy. I can't say it without smiling.
I also love glorious. It's another word that fills me with joy.
I over-use fabulous, fantastic, and fantabulous, which dictionary.com does list as a word, thank you very much. I couldn't call any of them favorites, though. The over-use is more a product of laziness and habit than anything else.
My least favorite word is the one that starts with a C and is so spine-twitchfully awful that I cannot bring myself to write it or say it. You know the one. It is just foul.
I also really hate annoying, and I have absolutely no idea why. I think because dawnshine used to say it. All. The. Time. And it became, well, annoying.
I can't bring myself to say fart, although I don't care if other people do. I wasn't allowed to say it when I was growing up, I think because it wasn't ladylike (and we all know how delicate and ladylike I turned out to be!), and now I absolutely cannot make myself say it. But I don't hate it.
I'm sure there are more of each, but I can't think of any right now.
I like the Writer's Block thingy. It's like Vox's Question of the Day. Quite spiffy.
