Masticating.
I had a teacher at secondary school who would tell any chatterboxes to stop masticating.
The first time you heard it, it sounded enough like masturbating to get anybodys attention and it made me laugh.

Mensuration - it can cause a bit of embarrassment

Widely used in Scotland but not in any dictionary.

It's in the dictionary and was used by me at work today. I'm not Scottish.

mither. ginnel. fadge.

Axiomatic

Though that kind of goes without saying

Defenestrated

Me me me me me me

However, in Welsh, 'twmffat'. Pronounced 'tomb-fat', it translates as funnel.

Khodomodomo is my all time favorite. It is what I get called by friends and colleagues in Lesotho. Pronounced '(k)hod-oo-mod-oo-mow' it translates as 'dinosaur'. Rather appropriate I think.

****wit?

Apothecary

(Just watched the relevant episode of Ghosts. Those who know, know).

Oh, one of my favourite words has been censored. I’m obviously not intelligent enough to invent a favourite word. It was actually fu..ck wit!

effervescent, it just sounds so cool and like what it is

My teacher once told me to stop masticating.

Joke was on them though, I was in the middle of a ****.

Floccinaucinihilipilification.

Shart

Scudding, a word I enjoy every time clouds are blown across the sky.

Ignominious, rolls off the tongue
Magnanimous, because it took me a while to learn how to say

Least favourite, specificity. I can't say it reliably.

Mochyn- Welsh for pig.

Called the kids that when they were messy and it stuck as a pet name for my daughter. Being in England no one knew what I was calling her. She wasn’t impressed when she saw the word written at a farm/zoo we visited.

Esoteric and Sussuration

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

And yes, I used to watch Catchword on the Beeb 😂

Best ones already mentioned other than spibble. Oh, and thunder****, and one provided to me by another of this parish - 'backeye'

Flummoxed - perfectly sums up that sense of mystifying failure

Cockwomble seems to have gone out of fashion somewhat but this government are doing their best to have it reintroduced.

As others have said ... moist. Pronounced moo-oist for maximum effect. Such an innocuous word; such a range of reactions.

Brouhaha.

Loquacious and petrichor.

Sorry, I just can't split them nor use them in the same sentence. Although, if I ever invested in a pair of kittens, these might will become their names.

Lobstronomous.

Trebuchet.

Nonchalant.

Melifluous

I remember Stephen Fry saying his favourite word is plinth, it's a pretty nice word to say out loud

Doing (as in how Betty boo does the do), because it is spelt the same as doing (a bells noise, like boing), which always makes me question how to pronounce going. The alternative pronunciation is much better

Elshalimo's contribution took me back a bit:

Onomatopoeia

Twonk

Quite. Back in good ol freeserve chat days, I was called a Twonk and it has stuck ever since. Think I put an S on as Twonk was used, although I also had Twonky for a while.

My favourite word is 'knob' - So many options to use it, so many meanings and quite descriptive of many people, without being overly aggressive.

Mallemaroking, purely because of its precision.
"The carousing of sailors on icebound Greenland whaling ships'

Procrastinate.
Puts things off just saying with all those syllables!

Plethora means a lot to me.......

Grandiloquent

Callipygian

Plethora means a lot to me…….
