    Do you mean "new-fangled"?

    No, I prefer it when the sayings are mixed up :)

    Probably "Salubrious". Use it all the time. "Pighead licked her big toe and swallowed all the bits and pieces that detached themselves from her toe-skin. It left him feeling warm and salubrious inside"

    It's weird but when Pighead uses the word salubrious it sort of makes that sentence sound grand and noble. Without using "salubrious" it would probably end up sounding a bit yukky. That's the power of words.

    But I didn't say boo hoo! *PhysiologyRocks stamps feet and sulks*:)

    On a side note, I've never actually heard a baby say that

    I didn't read the OP, are we just posting random words?

    In that case:

    Box, toaster, aluminum, maple syrup - no I take that one back. I'm gonna hold on to that one.

    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?

    I like "magnanimous" as well.
    I like (what i suspect is) its etymology-
    magn- :big
    animous- :spirit.

    It's a cool word to be- "generous of spirit". :)
    Not sure how you'd use it sarcastically, OP, tbh.

    These are interesting:
    Facile.
    Spurious.
    Facetious.
    Laconic.

    OK, I've seen this in a couple of threads. WTF is up with the word 'moist'? How on earth is it in any way cringeworthy? Is it the sound or the meaning?
    What about joist or hoist? Or humid or damp? Or moisturiser?

    "Cúntish"

    As in:

    'Carstairs saddled up the grey mare and prepared the sidesaddle for Mrs Brocklemaer.It was a clean cold morning
    when Mrs Brocklemaer arrived at the stables, and went to mount her horse'. "Cúntish cold Maam" said Carstairs "I took the liberty of salving your saddle with warm emollient"

    "Thank you Carstairs" said Mrs Brocklemaer "You think of everything"

    "Gee" on its own packs quite a punch too.

    I lolled...

    Should have known this would turn from "what's your favourite word" into "what's your favourite expression for the female genitalia?"

    "Lady garden" ftw, if being nice. If in a vulgar mood: "gee" (as above).
