Favorite words

This is a list of words that I really like to say:

-Androgynous
-Catastrophic
-Rotund
-Omnivore
-Moist
-Supercilious
-Proportions (but only in conjunction with the word Catastrophic)
-Conjunction

Of course, I can't use half of these words in a sentence, but I like the way they sound.

Words I hate to say:

-Pianist

i very much agree with hating to say "pianist"...

and, i would add "quizical" and "sundry" to the favorites list.

Well, I must say that there are few words that I do not enjoy saying; existentialism, (Way too hard to pronounce, but once the pronunciation is down, the word is really quite extraordinary!) adroit, (should mean 'evil robot from starwars' not skillful! That has always bothered me!) and perjury (that is just an ugly word). Thats just my 2 cents!

um...I do not like to say facund and/or fecund- they just don't feel right. I think the porker would add Flay to the list of favorite words.

"m" word
"s" word
"p" word
