Three Cheers For Words :)

[snogged]

A little conversation I had with Gabrielle tonight got me thinking about how awesome words are. So my flisters, I wanna know the coolest/most elegant/best/dirty-sounding etc. word (or words) that you know. And I'd like you to post a definition as well, even if I might know what it means already.

*hugs*

And just to get the ball rolling, one of my favorite words is "susurration" (n). A soft murmur, or whisper.

Mine is

Viscosity: a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensional stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness".

I don't know why.

That is a good word :)
