I keep a list:

cantankerous
lackadaisical
squeeze
guffaw
ostentatious - it means "showy", and it sounds that way too!
logorrhea - means "excessive/often incoherent talkativeness"; like verbal diarrhea!
loquaicious- I think this word means "talkative"

That would make sense, since the spellbook in Wario Ware Wii is called the Loquaicious Spellbook (Ashley's Stage).

I have a few words that I really like. Here they are in no particular order..

Particular
Cliche'
Inept
Atomic
Castle (a bit weird, I know..)
Magician
Any word that involves a sound effect (boing, zap, pow, ect..)

Yesterday I was reminded of a childhood favorite.

Smithereens.

I learned this word from the Thomas the Tank Engine show, which I absolutely loved when I was a little kid (yep, I was little once O_o). Oftentimes, things on that show got blown to smithereens. That might be why I love explosions so much today... anyway, smithereens BLEEDS its meaning. When I hear "smithereens" my brain is bludgeoned with the image of debris of all kinds of things fluttering down in the light breeze, hindered in its journey to the earth by the impish tendencies of air resistance. You cannot even have a single smithereen. Firefox's spell check says no. You can only have upwards of millions upon billions of...
S m i t h e r e e n s.

I. Will.

Bludgeon this scorpion to smithereens. Good day.

Thomas the Tank Engine

I knew I wasn't the only one! Speaking of which... it was fun when George Carlin narrated.

There a couple of words that are my favorites:
supercalifragilisticebialidocious (Firefox must hate Marry Poppins)
paing (Sound effects are fun... even though they aren't real words.)
smithereens (Now that BP mentioned it, I do recall and the narrators in Thomas saying it... it's terrible that these words aren't commonly used.)
clique (Because I can actually fool people when I use it in a conversation.)
nucular (Partially because of "The Simpsons" and the new Indiana Jones.)
superfluous (I don't care that you don't use this once you get out of 9th grade... it's fun.)
aristocats (I wish I remembered that song they sang...)

That's all I can think of... even though a lot of those words probably aren't legitimate... wait, that's a good one!

-Legitimate

There, I'm done.
