Favorite Word:
synchronicity
It sizzles with the excitement of the serendipitous unknown. The whole concept is one that appeals to me as a quantum theorist.

Least Favorite Word:
share
In its new-age incarnation, this poor overworked, ill-used verb needs to be sent to a full-service nursing home for tired old words. When someone says "Thank you for sharing," I feel like responding, "up yours."
