Favorite Word:

revolt
Well it means something awful or horrible, not pleasant. I like words that evoke memories, mental images, anything that captures you're attention and evokes emotion which in this case would be disgust.

Least Favorite Word:

sad
It means, well the emotion of despair, helplessness, etc. But its my least favorite word because there are so many better words to describe "sad" such as melancholy, distraught, lonely, etc.
