But I digress...
I just came across this dictionary while explaining to Molly the definition of "cut a rug" and proving I hadn't made it up. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/
We had the most fun with this feature. http://onlineslangdictionary.com/random-word/ You can vote on your usage (or lack of usage) of random words.
Just a warning, this is SLANG. There is quite a bit of naughty stuff in there!
I read a book a couple a months ago in which one character asked another what her favorite word was. It took me a while to think of my favorite word, but as soon as I stopped thinking about it, it popped right into my head.
Lave. I'll let you look it up. It sounds sinister and sexy to me, but has such a clean meaning. ;)
What is your favorite word?

My favorite word is: obfuscate
My favorite street name that I have to know is: Segovia
I use urbandictionary.com to define the crazy words I see on the internet :-]
Selcouth... and no, that was not my word verification! :-)
What was the conversation about that brought up "cut a rug"?
The selcouth phrase that obfuscated Molly was from a new (I guess) song by Train. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVpv8-5XWOI
I also had to explain who Mr.Mister was.

Hi Jen! My favorite words are tapete and leche. i am attached to sassafras. and incidentally, Segovia is my dad's last name (it's also the name of a town in Spain)
I can't say what my favorite word is, but "chanterelle" rolls off the tongue nicely. Not to mention it's quite tasty with butter and parsley.
My girls are crazy for the PBS show "Word Girl," where, oddly enough, they have a "Favorite Words" segment.
