    (Nerd alert!)

    You know that word that you just love to throw into a sentence because saying it is so satisfying?
    Or that one that you have just learned the meaning of and find yourself using over and over...

    My top five:

    - Pedantic
    - Syllable
    - Anomaly
    - Lover
    - Bollix (It just always fits the purpose!)
