Do you have any favorite Words

OH BOY DO I. WOW. WOW. WOW. wow. wow. yes. i do.

– #1 GENERAL
most useful word of all time. a "general" (and all derivatives) can change everything. make everything simpler...it's so easy to forget how to try to talk generally! to try to communicate something generally is to try to understand. at least that is what comes to mind for me. when i add on a "just...generally", i'm admitting my lack of knowledge, while also putting effort into trying to cover all bases. that is like...such a great thing to be able to do, with just one word.

– #2 HONOUR
the most me word of all time. i am honoured by everyone ever. everyone i talk to, everyone who knows me, everyone who regards me. everyone has some sort of honour to them, and i get to see so much of it! and then, sometimes, they even talk to me directly, yeah? sometimes they even are doing some honourable ass shit ONLY for me to see! how lucky did i get, brah!! seeing some of these people. being their friends. of course, i try to act with honour too. even then, when someone rarely says they feel honoured by anything i do, i don't know how to get across that it always goes both ways!

– #3 WELL
best filler word of all time.. versatile, and i'll never stop overusing it. "well". to do good, to do justice to, to do elegantly, to do sensibly, to do good with, to do just OK with, to make money of, to do easily, to acknowledge the odds of, to do thoroughly, to see clearly, to be familiar with, to be farther than expected, andd. to be friendly.

i am more often than not using it in a friendly manner, to express my thought process. or...not express, but acknowledge. i start with "well..." to let you know i've considered, and intend to be clear, and do reasonably.

– #4 LIKE
second best filler word of all time. sort of the same usage as "general"—another admission of...lack of knowledge (there's a phrase for this. it's slipped my mind at the moment though). a casual way to speak generally, or of...but "like" can also be to speak specifically of. an extra "like" can put much more emphasis on your point, on what you DO know, on your attempts at clarity. that's my favourite use. when people are at a loss for words, and they, clearly frustrated, but typically lighthearted, go: "...you know...like...LIKE. like!..." before finding what they're looking for. "like", you are so loved. you are so well used. "well" used. "thoroughly" used. "justly" used. "elegantly" used, used "far more than we thought".

well. those are my top four. just generally, though, i'm not sure i could...like...really say i have a perma top four; i try to honour all the words i love.

soo. umm. do...you, have any favourite words?
