Favorite Word:
avuncular
It has a great combination of soft and hard tones in the "vu" and "-c-" sounds which makes it great to keep in mind for a possible alliteration. The meaning is most humorous, and the potential for irony is through-the-roof.

Least Favorite Word:
cacophony
This is just anawful-sounding word. I don't even know what it means, but I don't want to. That's how bad it sounds.
