Favorite words! What
Favorite words! What are your favorite words? I keep a list. It's very long, so I'll just post part of it.
hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (the fear of long words)
somnambulate
doppelgänger
spelunking
didgeridoo
sesquipedalian
antediluvian
antimacassar
susurrus
abecedarian
And, of course, antidisestablishmentarianist. An antidisestablishmentarianist is a person who is against the people who are against the king. Very useful word, huh? So, anyway, what are your favorites?

@Hannah: I've only met two people in my entire life whose name is Hannah. I think it was a popular name in 1996. But this might get confusing having two people on Cricket with the same name and age even though I put the two little faces after my name. But I might come up with a nickname for myself on here. You're not from Georgia, are you?
Spamboy says "zaza". It kinda reminds me of Lady Gaga. lol.

First, I want to comment on some of your words. ZNZ: I have a didgeridoo. It's really cool and I sometimes play it (I'm not like those guys from Australia who can play one note for... let's just say a really long time). Also, Old Cricket, I like ricochet bowing as well. It's so fun...
Okay now for mine, which am stealing from other people. Sorry.
Stealth
Finite
Tranquil
Languid
Placid
Ricochet (for the sound)
Serendipity (for the sound)
Serene
Fortuity
Charlemagne (the sound, and we're learning about him)
That's it for now. There's one thing I love and would die if I didn't have and that's a thesaurus. What a wonderful invention! (Try and look for the words that have similar meanings here...)

This is cute: Anti-spam says "zooz." Let's take it to the zoo and see what its favorite animal is! :D And since I hit preview and came back, anti-spam now sais"xpok." Who watches Star Trek? :) :)

Isn't antidisestablishmentarianism supposed to be the longest word in the English language? But obviously hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is longer than it.

Mithril, by far. I mean, in LOTR, Frodo would've died like five times if he didn't have his mithril. (btw, in all three movies, Frodo dies 12 1/2 times... Like when the giant spider kills him or when the Nazgûl stab him)
And pathological. Hee hee. :)
