Show & Tell: My favorite words

Most of these words are just fun to use in conversation. I use a few of them in writing, as well…
vexed
vacillate
abhor
charisma
eloquent
lugubrious
gregarious
pontificate
whiz
zoom
zip
glub
swoosh
poosh (my father's pronunciation. We all know the word as "push")
spit
Spanx
chit chat
tchotchke
kitschy
gobbledygook
gaggle
malarky
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Godspeed
mitbringel (German for "small gift")

Note: a few of these words fall under the category "onomatopoeia" which is a wonderful word, as well!

I really enjoy the many expletives I can't say in front of my children:
ass
arse
damn
shit
bitch
stupid
fuck
piss
bollocks
but never the "c" word
