I have a list of words I like to sneak into a post or a piece of work. Do you ever look for an excuse to use a word? I've done that before. When I do attempt to do that though it's so pitiful, it's almost always diaphanously veiled in an irrelevant sentence like this one.

Lol, see what I did there?

I say "fuck" a lot. I think it's phonaesthetically appropriate for a swear-word, along with the Arabic "qs".

Synecdoche is fantastic for meaning.
Indeed is great in essays when you've run out of conjunctions for "furthermore".

Papier has a lovely sound in French and German.
Igloo also has a lovely sound, and the meaning is cute as well.
