To say?

Meaning?

I think both my favorite word to say and my favorite word meaning is "Mondegreen."

A mondegreen is a phrase where you think someone said one thing when they really said something esle.

The whole misheard lyrics website is a tribute to mondegreens, the classic being the Jimi Hendrix "Excuse me while I kiss this guy."

Mondegreen itself comes from a misheard phrase:
"Laid him on the green" was mistaken for "Lady Mondegreen." And a word is born.

I enjoy "anthropomorphism" and "electroencephalogram"... because they are fun to say.

Why thank you darling, that feels quite nice, and rather apt, other then that I walk four feet overground 99% of the time, but yes, I am quite maternal!

My favorite words used to be "pummel and bludgeon" not because I am violent. I just like the rhythm to them and they way they were spelled. I got drunk a few nights ago and couldn't stop saying "vospeetatalneetzya" ( this would work better in Cyrillic) It's Russian for kindergarten teacher...but it's fun to say while drunk.
I know what my all time LEAST favorite words is though- "should". I hate that word.

Mahna Mahna was the dude that would be like, "mahna na ma mahna ma na ma.." and go off and the snowths would just look at him and he'd stop and go, "Mahna mahna" and they'd start in with "do do da do do.. da do do do."

It was a rip off an old Nissan commercial. smile

There was an episode of 'muppets tonight' where sandra bullock did a skit involving this song. It was very, very funny. Is that where you heard the phemomenon derivative?

Favorite word: physiological. Having to do with the body; originating from physical causes.

It just sounds cool, imo.

I don't have a favorite word.. Am I supposed to?? No one told me that.. I use all words, except those that are too big for my little Kentucky brain to comprehend. Thats why I am going to college so I can learn how to pronounce those big words and the definitions of each.
