My favourite words of all-time: onomatopoeia, pretentious, palindrome, harbinger, damn, autumn, luminescent and licentious

My favourite words this week include: preternatural, subterfudge, heater, banality, vagary, and orange. Oh, also settlement and check, the two of which shall reach a Meg-pleasing crossroads in my mailbox this afternoon.

woops, spelled a word wrong. The way I spelled (boutonniere) refers to a deformity in which a finger is bent in a particular way: bent down at the middle joint and bent back at the end joint.

It should be boutonierre.

cock-crow  - noun meaning early morning Example: He gets up at cock-crow.

perpendicular - adjective meaning standing, rising etc straight upwards; vertical Example: a perpendicular cliff

I don't know why I like these words as I am rarely up at cock-crow and I don't prefer to be perpendicular for long.
