According to a certain website its "b@st@rds!" but I don't think so. Is this a ploy to figure out passwords? In that case it's pNeumoNoultramicroScopicSilicovolcaNocoNioSiS18436572.

There are many so it's hard to settle on just one. It's like asking g_rock to pick a favorite beach or Roe to choose a favorite firearm.
Currently, in the insult category, I like 'jag-a-lope.' Somedude20, I think it was, brought that one to my attention. Also, it's like George Burns says in 'The Sunshine Boys' - 'P' words are funny. If you're in a bind, spit out some 'P' words. Pickle is a funny word.

Jag-a-loon: "Any one adult person who engages in acts of a mentally retarded child. Someone who clearly demonstrates a lack of commitment to maturity and the responsibilities that come with it." FYI, I learned it from the movie "Step Brothers"

Felix catus is your taxonomic nomenclature an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature your visual, olfactory and auditory senses contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses . . .
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion . . .

As an avid reader and crossword puzzle worker, I know that there are copious amounts of wonderful words out there, thus I find this question flipping silly. I do like Trinity's choice of egregious. But, alas, I'll go with neato, or whatever Spacehog would have said.

T_O_B, I still call it "Spacehog bong rips" . That way there is no pronunciation questions.
I, much the same as rockchalker, have a predilection towards words with plosive "P" constants.

Gravy
Frankie8 11 months ago
Red-eye gravy, to those unaccustomed to the nobler things in life, requires first a good, well-cured country ham. Smithfield and genuine Virginia hams are ideal for this.
Take a slice of uncooked ham with most or much of the fat left on. Fry the ham in its own fat until nicely browned on both sides. When it is cooked, transfer the ham to a warm platter and add boiling black coffee to the skillet, scraping to dissolve the particles that cling to the bottom and sides.
That is red-eye gravy, which you pour over the ham and serve.
The name "red-eye gravy" (sometimes referred to as "red-ham gravy") derives from the fact that a circle or oval of liquid fat with a slightly reddish cast will form on the surface of the gravy when it is reduced. This is the "eye" of the name.

Favorite word..."What?" Selective or cognitive. This word works. Great for letting small crap that I do not want to deal with go... A caveat, "Sorry, I just can't hear ya"....Works most of the time, but not all of the time. Am careful with that one.
