FAVORITE WORDS!!!
FAVORITE WORDS!!!
And I don't mean words like 'dog' or 'zoo' or 'dwarf'
I mean interesting words.
Right now, my favorite word is 'pandemonium'
What about the rest of you?

Who (off the top of their heads, without looking it up) can tell me what hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is? *maniacal laugh* The evil laugh is because i don't think anyone else knows this word. No looking it up, just give me your best guess. :)

*takes a wild guess*
Soap??

Well, it has hydrogen and oxygen and chlorine in it, and something else, too. No sodium, so no salt or at least no table salt. Swimming pool water? The chemicals put in swimming pool water? Pond water? Apple juice? No nitrogen, so not air...
