Favorite Word:
laughFittingly it is spelled about as cock-eyed as you could do it and even has a silent 'u'. GH is "F"? Really?
It is altogether unexplainable. Why we do it. What makes us do it. The physical act itself.
It is contagious, shared by all, and perfect.
Try to laugh without smiling.
Least Favorite Word:
NoThe end of an idea, or endeavor or journey. It can be a jumping off point for renewed effort, or it can be cowardly, close-minded, fearful, reactionary, rash, ill-considered, political, CYA, lazy, spiteful, canned, frustrated, closed off, potential-killing and on and on.
I hate it for what it is not as much as for what it is.
