Anti distinctly minty...

My favourite at the moment is flaneur/flaneuse.

Oh wait... that's French. Well, it's part of the English lexicon, in a way.

I also like pleonast (which is a bit of an in-joke in itself in this context) and defenestrate.

Who comes a-sliding down the bannister?
It's the Vicar in a tutu'

From time to time I list my favourite words, and sometimes my least favourite. The word I hate most is 'droplet'. Eurgh it just sounds all wrong!
