My fabourite word is quizzaciously, which I'm definitely going to use once during an english speaking test or something LOL

It was one of the rarest words until Vsauce used it and the word quizzacious(ly) big-banged through the internet. It means something like: in a mocking manner, satirical.

Another word I am particularly fond of is 'ether'. No big reason as to why, but like 'eclipse' there's just something beautiful about it's sound.

English as in British? Argy Bargy !  Love that word when used at a footy game by a commentator. 

Otherwise , in general English terms : Serendipity.......
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
