Reticent - adjective - not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily.

*****recalcitrant*****
Adjective
Having an obstinately uncooperative attitude toward authority.

Plinth.

No ('f*cking way' can be added according to context.)

Bob Genghiskhan

Dad or daddy, never tire of hearing it even when followed by can I lend..., can you take me to...., or will you help me with my homework. Such a great word.

[Oft used by reticent, recalcitrant recidivists, as it happens. And angry wives.]

*****lackadaisical*****
Adjective
Lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy.

My favorite word is Sbyvl. And on my profile, I have translated it into several languages.

Glad you had one, Maniac. Glad you are one.

Dreich (Scots)

Parallelepiped
Because in the long, dark maths tutorial of the soul this word was the only light.

Nincompoop
No explanation necessary!

Petard (but only when used in the expresion "Hoisted by my own petard")
So great is my joy when hearing this that I will automatically stop fighting and ally with anyone who uses it in Diplomacy. Thus far this has never happened.

@Octavious -

My wife laughs whenever she hears "Hoist on my own petard" but only because her grandmother grew up speaking French, and in Canadian French, "petard," which means "bomb" in French, is slang for "fart".

True story.

Irrelavant.
I have I use it so much talking to people I know :)

Pneumonia.
One day, if ever have to teach someone the alphabet, it will be like this:
K, knight.
P, pneumonia
W, who
Ya know, stuff like that :)

Did you just misspelt your favourite word? :)

However

My favorite word: Fez.

Achillies, here are my contributions to your alphabet

M; mnemonic
T; tsunami
N; AutumN
B; LamB
G; Gnat

Whosesoever

My favorite words are those misused by people trying to sound intelligent. Here they are in no particular order:

Ironic - Alanis Morriset has led people to believe that it simply means "unfortunate coincident"

Ambivalent - most people think it means you don't have strong feelings about something one way or the other ... Exactly the opposite of what it means.

Comprise: any one who says "comprised of" is not only missing the point of the word, they're also using it incorrectly. You really mean "composed of" most likely.

Thanks maniac, I remember those :)
And ulytau, probably, I never have to spell it, just say it. Anyway, that's irrelevant.
Still wrong?

****Peradventure****
definition: synonym of "maybe"

I read this word in Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and it stuck to me.

Vanuatu, I plan on moving there one day. Just rolls off the tongue.

Phlegmatic, a particularly disgusting sounding synonym for lackadaisical.

Alanis Morissette - isn't that ironic, don't you think :-)

Phlegmatic sounds nice, it just looks awful on paper in English.

Lackadaisical makes me think daisies and lazily watching them grow. Phlegmatic makes me think of phlegm. Hands down lackadaisical wins between those two.

Tesseract is fine word....

Egregious, nonchalant, brabble
can you tell i like to argue? lol

callous

Redundant

Svelte

Callipygian or Callipygous
Having shapely or beautifully proportioned buttocks. Oddly my dear wife does not like this word, even when applied to her own person.

The t is not silent in Tsunami

Well it isnt supposed to be silent but people who speak english don't get how to pronounce the "TS" sound at the beginning of a word. Oddly enough tsunami has always been my favourite word, hence the "corrections"

My favorite word is "Gebiet", the German word for territory. Synesthesia definitely plays a role in it.

ucalegon: a neighbor who's house is burning down.

fille

Floccinaucinihilipilification
