What’s your favorite word?

View all responses

Since I am multi-lingual, here are my favorite words in my four languages:

• Spanish: pendejo, literally “pubic hair,” describing someone you really don’t like.
• French: débrouillir, literally “de-fog” or “unravel,” how Inspector Maigret solves crimes.
• Hungarian: lófasz, literally “horse’s dick,” used regularly to describe something insignificant or non-existent.
• English: septemfluous, literally “flowing in seven streams,” a word with very limited applicability, like medioxumous, rotl, or crwth.
