Default Re: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE WORD THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US?

My favorite word is truly cliche, but it is what it is .... LOVE.

It's not just the meaning and feelings behind the word, although that certainly helps, to me the word itself is soothing. It just rolls off the tongue. I think if the meaning of love were totally different (maybe like something you sit on), it would still be my favorite word.

The other word that just rolls off my tongue is maudlin. Now, maudlin (effusively or tearfully sentimental) is something I definitely am not, but the word just sounds good.
