1. Oops or whoops - this is just such a funny, descriptive word.

2. Right up there with Oh Oh!

3. Butterfly

4. Velvet

5. Lace

6. Sneeze

7. Breeze

8. Sky

13. That is a really good word. Kind of similar to excommunicated.
I can't even say most of these words.

17. Articulate
by and by (a phrase actually but I always liked it)

temerity

peculiar

beagle


I like a lot of words that people don't often use. I like to use them, not to make myself sound intelligent, but because they're good words that don't get enough use. "Beagle" I like because it's a fun word and sounds like what it is - a happy little dog.
