What is your favorite word?
Asterus:
Asinine.
In spanish, I've always been rather amused with "Sacapuntas" and "Atropellar". One for how it sounds, the other for the fact that the only context you'll really see it in is when someone gets run over by a vehicle. So there is a word in spanish that pretty much means "To be run over by a car"

It's like the best of both Ass and Inane!
Is it cold in here?:
If non-dictionary words are allowed, I saw a wonderful one which was either a brilliant coinage or a happy accident from an ESL writer.
It refers to how people act on Internet forums where their real identities are hidden.
The word is "anonymosity", a mashup of "anonymous" and "animosity".

Bwahaha. That's great.
If we're talking about words from our own language I'll throw in: Spetsfundig. I can't translate it but google translate tells me it means "sophisticated" which isn't really accurate but whatever.

Litigious
The g sound has changed from the related words. This feels like when you hit a smooth, but unexpected bump in the road and your stomach jumps a little. I like it.
