Which word do you love most?
-
Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they're angry.
My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).
As opposed to "inferno" which is now a universal word for summer

Wow... any longer word in Danish?
You can kinda make a word as long as you want like in German, the one I mentioned I know have just been in official use.
To give an example. A dog house in Danish is combined by "hund" and "hus" and becomes "hundehus" (the e in the middle is "gluing" the words together. Sometimes needed). If you have some roof for a dog house, a so called dog house roof, then the word becomes "hundehustag" ("tag" being roof). If you are talking about a shingle made for a dog house roof, then it becomes a "hundehustagplade" (funnily enough "tagplade" means shingle and is thus itself a combined word of "tag" (roof) and "plade" (plate)).
You can kinda keep on stacking nouns like this ad infitium in order to narrow down the exact type of shingle you're talking about.

Poor learners....
I can see the purpose. However, if one is not used to read very long words like what Danish and German do... It is...uhm....hard

Chrysalis - just fun to say and sounds neat
Luminous - loved it ever since I first saw Empire Strikes Back when Yoda said "Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter."

Fuck! It's just so descriptive yet so vague. Can almost be used as a place holder for anything.
Fuck? Fuck! Fuck. Fucking, fucker, fucked. Fuck yourself you fucking fuck! Fucking hell mate. What the fuck? Finger fucked, proper fucked. Who gives a flying fuck. That fucking fucker fucked my fucking girlfriend, FUCK! That fucker over there. Fucking get over here. I'm gonna get the fuck out before I fuck myself.

âGruntledâ! The wonderful opposite of disgruntled
And âgruntlingâ is an excellent old-timey word for baby pigs

Nibling. Itâs the gender-neutral form of ânieceâ or ânephewâ. Your sister is your sibling, your niece is your nibling.
Or sonder. Thatâs the feeling you get when thinking about the fact that everyone in the world lives a life just as vibrant and complex as your own.

Addis Ababa, too
Idrid Elba, in the same vein.

Suss
verb. To suss something. To solve or figure it out. To come to understand it.
Short, sweet, one syllable. Two letters, three S's (which, honestly, do the heavy lifting) and U, the goth child of the vowels.

"Defenestration".
The fact there's a specific word for throwing someone out of a window is hilarious. Even the word itself sounds funny to say.

I think "refenestration" which means to throw someone back into a building through the window is inherently funnier.
