What about you? What are some of your favorite vocables? Words, even?

I have an entire binder in my basement covered in words I like. Off the top of my head:

- bespectacled (adj.) wearing glasses
- myriad (n./adj.) a great number/many
- pulchritude (n.) beauty

petrichor (n.), a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.

zenith (n.), the time at which something is most powerful or successful.

saccharine (adj.), excessively sweet or sentimental.

I'm a big fan of the word 'defenestration'. Not so much the word itself but definitely just the fact that it exists amuses me greatly.
