What’s you’re favorite word??

Many of my fave words center around rogues: Rapscallion, knave, varlet and and ne'er-do-well!
 
Perfidious has such a nice bite to it. You just know that word's got some venom. Oh yeah, I love that one as well!
 

barracuda

1. a large tropical sea fish with sharp teeth, that eats other fish and can attack people
2. a person who does business in a way that shows they only think about their own advantage, even if this harms others
 
My evergreen favorite is defenestrate. It's just so utterly specific as to be timelessly immutable. I can believe that many years hence, its primary use will still be to describe the act of ejecting someone via a window

One that has grown on me the past few years is pluvial. I am quite enamored with the rain, so having an adjective besides "rainy" is nice.
