I’m curious to see how this pans out if it takes off. I know we’ll be seeing a lot of “serendipitous” (it seems like that’s a really popular choice for favorite word — as it should be, it’s a nice word!) but sometimes when you bring this up in conversation, people hit you with words you’d forgotten you even liked. So carry on, English majors and language geeks!

Mine, for the record… copacetic. (I also like cantankerous, cutlery, and circumlocution. C might be my favorite letter in the alphabet.)

    Defenestrate. People get really confused when you use this as a threat.
