One of my favorites – poodlefaker – Youth too much given to tea-parties and ladies’ society generally.

How about each person adds in their favorite vocabulary word here? I don’t really have one though… I guess I’ll have to go with exogenously (adverb)- growing or being produced from the outside of something, usually an organism.

Well, I wanted to use supercalafragelisticexpialadocious but I have a feeling it’s not going to show up as a question on the SATs! So I’ll have to go with a favourite of mine: onemonepia, firstly because it’s still a challenge to spell correctly and secondly because its definition is of words that sound like they mean. For example BOOM! CRASH! SLURP or POP! Onemonepia represents some really fun and exciting words, and to me that’s pretty cool.

Oh, we need to say why we like it? I like mine just because it sounds really cool, with the x and everything.
