My favourite words tend to be words that I like the sound of. Words like "anomaly". Yeah, love that word. I don't know why =P. My other favourite word is in French and it's "anticonstitutionellement" just because it's really fun to say (and it also is the longest French word, which is a random fact I picked up a while ago and somehow stored in my head.) Other words I love are made-up words (do they count?) Words like "geniusness" and "footballistically" and "fantasticism". They're hilarious. Once I was talking to a friend of mine on MSN, and she said that she was "flailing flailily" and I cracked up and couldn't stop laughing for ten minutes. Haha. But that's going off topic...

Words I hate...they tend to be words I don't like the sound of. "Ugly" and "disgusting" are words I don't use often. My friends were saying to me just the other day how I rarely use the word "disgusting", instead I say something like "That's...EWWWW!" Haha, I'm so crazy! =D

I love the word anomaly! It looks funny and sounds interesting. Sooo, what does anticonstitutionellement mean? Does it have to do with government stuff? Geniusness should be a word! As should fantasticism. Wait, fantasticism IS a word. \Fan*tas"ti*cism\, n. The quality of being fantastical; fancifulness; whimsicality.
I don't mind ugly and disgusting. I use disgusting quite often along with gross, ewness, nasty, grotesque, abnormal, bizarre, malformed, maimed, strange, unnatural, weird...I could go on. But I concur on the reaction to gross things being "That's...ewww!"
