    Mine is facetious. Its fun and it has all the vowels in the right order and that pleases me

    The only other word i know with all the vowels in the right order is abstemious and thats much less fun. Im sure there are more.

    Whats yours?

    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.

    Also ‘thrum’ and ‘throb’ but pronounced with the voiced /th/ of ‘though’.

    Bramah

    But I probably like why it is a word.

    Mensuration – it can cause a bit of embarrassment

    Intercourse – when used in the non sexual sense –

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

    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.

    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!
