My Favourite Word

Depends how you say it, too. It reminds me of this funny scene in 'Donnie Brasco'

I love using the word discombobulate. I just rarely get a chance to.

Other than that, bollocks is always a good choice!

Maybe you could discombollockulate?

I'm going to lower the tone and admit my favourite word is the C*** word. It may be widely regarded as the most offensive word in the English language but to many here in Scotland it is used in everyday speech and is more a term of endearment than an insult. Personally, I find it very very amusing that any word can cause such a hullabaloo, which, incidentally, is my second favourite word.

That's my second favourite, OP... or my first, sometimes... In the right context, it's hilarious.

Don't suppose James Naughtie would agree, though.

a big favourite of mine Stan is - BASTARD. said in a geordie accent - none of that home counties 'barstard' shite. another favourite of late is CUNT! a mega-taboo once upon a time -that i have grown fond of over time. there's some people who just are! not even BASTAD will do.

I use "anyway" and "you know" but never a question mark. But then that is simple vocabulary and I like that don't I? If we're going to use 4 letter words the F... is old fashioned but good, Bollocks is great and discombobulate is suave.

Mine would be onomatopoeia, because sometime words just escape me!

oh, and on a derogatory note, Cu*t is defiantly the way to go :)

I think there is nothing like C~~T to truly vent and in my office, C**T and F**K are used as verbal punctuation. I would say however that my ex boss used F**KPIG to great effect and I rather envied him that. He did also carry a club hammer in the glove compartment of his car which he used on cars that overtook him, in combination with screaming F**KPIG.

Which was nice.

Haha lavadis- I envy you with a boss like that-

I’m with Stan on the word ‘Bollocks’ – it has to be my all time favs. It just rolls of the tongue (ahem!). My most used insult used to be F*ckwit, but after watching the excellently funny movie, Paul, my new favourite word of abuse is F*cknuts.

Being a prude (!), I don’t like the C word at all!!!

On a more serious note, I also like loquacious and antithesis - as long as I haven’t had too much to drink!

Oh... and just to add... I choked on my coffee when I read 'discombollockulate'! Very funny!

My favourite word is ELBOW. It has such a beautiful vowelific resonance. Not only that, it is a cross between Elvis and Rambo, two of my favourite people, and that must account for something.

I have created f##ckybobby as an expression of surprise

## lavadis?

I agree with Lavadis, Foockybobby is just great!

A true expression of suprise, I have tried it twice on friends in the last five minutes and boy, were they suprised!

I have a few, "Dicksplash" is one, "Numpty" is another. A new one thats entered my sentences is "Tool", as in. "That blokes a right tool!"
But of course you can't beat a good F or C.

Sorry that has come out wrong!

My favourite expression of surprise is just too rude and suggestive. But second best is 'Bless my buttocks'. Another favourite word. Buttocks, that is...

Soapytitwank remains one of my favourite phrases and may I say how much I miss the late, great Seething Wells, the NME 'journalist' from whom I learnt this and many other fine expressions of English.

Funniest thing I ever read in NME:

'Dear Editor,

I'd like to point out to the kind readers who've been sending me cheques that when I said I was in Dire Straits, I meant the band - not that I was actually in dire straits.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Knopfler,
Some Big Fucking House Somewhere.'

I favour STW as an abreviation and it was fuckybobby - I am sorry but I have to remove the ** lest there is any doubt about the majesty of my creation.

Stan - blessmybuttocks is very good indeed and my wife's use of fuckmyoldboots is also worthy of consideration

I like "friggin' " it sort of covers everything implicitly...

And it rhymes with riggin

Fuck my old boots! Yes... and my brother always used to clean it up - and, I think, make it funnier - by saying 'Fornicate my ancient footwear.'

Okay... my fave is 'Bugger my bleedin' buttocks'.
