What is a word that you
especially like (or dislike)?
There’s one that I learned recently—“dissimulation.” It means being deceptive and hiding your real character or intentions. There’s a lot of things that could be classified as dissimulation right now.
Blair aka “Sound of Mind”, 27, Rap poet/Comic/ IT Administrator
“Magoo” is a favorite word, in any context. Like if we’re in traffic, “There’s a magoo ahead of us.”
Benjamin Grant, 25, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
My favorite word is “brutal.” I think I use that word a lot. I just like the way it comes out. It sounds very brutal.
Lauren Nicole, 26, Teacher
There’s a word that I use as a mythic last name—“tongolowichuut.” It’s the name given to the cardinal bird by the indigenous people in Sayula, Mexico, in the state of Veracruz.
Dennis Holt, 82, Artist/Poet/Musician
I think my favorite word is “whimsical.” “Shenanigan” might even be better. Or “synchronicity.”
Kristi Lovato, 48, Shenaniganizer/Merchandise Manager
I have a really hard time with the word “spoon.” Spooon. I don’t like that word—and I haven’t liked it for a long time.
