My Favorites
Favorite Word:
sagaciousIt is a syllabant, easy on ears and mouth.
It affords images of Sacajawea, who was, indeed, wise.
Least Favorite Word:
fatThis word has overrun its course in causing depression among the American populace. Other countries, such as Great Britain, are now on the 'fat' train.
Besides, it is a one-syllable fricative, emitting unpleasant sound.
Favorite Quote:
"Don't squat with your spurs on."
- Baxter Black (my guess)
