Favorite Word in the English language
Post your favorite word and definition and why.
Mine is : antidisestablishmentarionism, a movement to remove the church of england from power, and its sheer length and awesomeness is why I like it!

Applicable to the above is the following:
Cliché: A cliché or cliche (pronounced UK: /ˈkliːʃeɪ/, US: /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.

^ That, and you spelled it wrong. Oh, and you used the wrong form of the verb "to be."

I prefer "honorificabilitudinitatibus." While arguably not an English word (it's the ablative plural of a medieval Latin word meaning "the state of being able to achieve honors") it is credited as the longest word used by Shakespeare, and the longest word in the English language (again, questionable) that has alternating vowels and consonants all the way through. I like it mainly because I was able to get away with using it in a presentation in ninth grade because my teacher was senile.

I think my favorite word would have to be hell-bent. (assuming hyphenated words are allowed) If not, then I would have to go with spangled. Spangled just sounds awesome.

There is a genetic thing that makes some people hate the "oi" sound and thus "moist"

Perhaps it is because it manifests your essence or something like that? :-) :-P

Diplomat, not only did you misspell antidisestablishmentarianism but you also got the definition wrong. The definition you stated is actually that of disestablishmentarianism. Antidisestablishmentarianism is opposed to it and so is actually a movement to oppose the disestablishment of the Anglican Church.

Oops. But I still like it!
Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. One of my first medical terms I learned. I had to sing it in my head to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in order to remember it.

Oh and sorry, the definition. It means blood-red.

I love it because J. M. Barrie uses it so beautifully in the dedication to Peter Pan.

Friday Around The Horn! Sports Fans, Is It Safe To Say...
1. The NHL has leapfrogged the beleaguered NBA as 3rd most popular out of the Big Four Leagues (NFL way in first, MLB in a distant-but-decent 2nd?)
2. The USA's interest in the 2012 World Cup will be higher after the '08 run?
3. The Angels' Pujos/Wilson pickups make them favorites to make the LCS?
4. The Ravens have supplanted the Colts/Patriots/Steelers as the AFC Superteam?

Transferring control of a country
We have a player in our game who is not going to be able to continue because he is too busy with work and just doesn't have time to commit to playing well.

Is there a way for the mods to substitute another account for his, or should we just have someone sit on his account for the remainder of the game?
