Dear Everyone:

I love this community, for words that make you feel sexy. I have a slightly different request. What words are your favorites? What do they mean? Why do you hold them so dear? Mine are "vehement(ly)" and "debauchery." Thank you, for the responses that have yet to come, I appreciate it.
