I have always liked the word 'globule'. It kind of rolls around the mouth nicely!

About the only thing I can remember from, history lessons at school was

Antidisestablishmentarianism

Is is such a shame that up until now I have never had the opportunity to use it.

I also like "qat" as this has caused many an argument while playing scrabble. I had to buy my father a new dictionary once just to prove it existed.

Can't think of a word I dislike

Not as good as a 'zix' though for Scrabble (a tool for cutting slate, I believe and I did see it in a dictionary once) - Rob

I have a fondness for juxtaposition and serendipitous, and a great loathing for whatever.

Rob, a Zax is a tool used in slate roofing; is that the one you have in mind? I have actually used that in a Scrabble game.
