    I have a few words i like and i managed to get the word "Behooves" into a transaction at work yesterday..very pleased with myself..i also like the word "Magnanamous" especially when used as a form of sarcasm.
    Is there a word you like to shoehorn into your conversation just for the hell of it?

    Camel-toe

    It's hyphenated which makes it one word





    (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong)

    Fandangled. Has to be prefixed by 'new' and be said by an old person.
