I used to dream about being on Inside The Actor's Studio. I am not an actor.
The famous interview by Bernard Pivot included a question about words, namely: what is your favorite word?
It may seem ridiculous to have a favorite word. They're not pancakes (my favorite pancake is, of course, the blueberry pancake).
And yet, here I am with not only one favorite word, but five. Here they are, in no particular order.
Balloon
It's fun, it's satisfying, it's whimsical.
Gherkin
First, it's a ridiculous word. Gherkin is hard to spell, hilarious to say, and delicious to eat. Its variant pickle is also quite delightful.
Culottes
I can't look at palazzo pants (THEY'RE CULOTTES, KAREN) without saying culottes out loud. Culottes.
Teat
Self. Explanatory. Say it out loud. You're welcome.
Weasel
Like it's predecessor, teat, weasel is a wonderful word to say. In fact, put the two together and you get an awesome band name. You're welcome. #teatweasel
