My favorite word is 'Love'. I want to spread this word to the whole universe. We should love and respect every human being and every species on this world.

Hmmm favorite word? If it can be one recently made up and shared, it would be "Terrifeared" definition: A sarcastic response to an intended threat. "oh, I'm so terrifeared of your poodle attacking me." If you want a dictionary approved word? Embellishment... Mainly because I enjoying doing so myself as often as humanly possible.

My favorite word is forgiveness. I can forgive ppl for anything and pray for them as well. I love forgiveness because God forgives us all the time and we as godchildren first and foremost should always be understanding and forgiving to those who we may even think we hate.

Oh my! There are just so many to choose from. I like the combination of "Ya think?" It kind of says it all. You know... Like "Duh".

Ok, text messaging kid..what does LMAO and ROTFL mean?? I know...I'm living in the dark ages but just recently learned that LOL meant "laugh out loud" I thought it meant lots of love. Logic kept sending me these LOL messages and I was getting quite perturbed at him! LOL!!

That's a funny story! LMAO is "laugh my a** off" (but we can change it to mean/be read "laugh my angelwings off" if that works better or is less offensive-- hey it's our acronym, after all.... you get the idea, anyway. And ROTFL is "rolling on the floor laughing". Nanny has just coined a new acronym: COL, which apparently means "cackling out loud". Ha ha!

Without a doubt my favorite English word is "mallifluous", meaning spoken easily.
