I like megalomaniac (because it's fun to say) and penultimate.

I don't know why but I've always liked the word "Miércoles" (Wednesday) in Spanish.

I read the word ragmuffin in Orlando today. I thought it was kind of a cute word.

Ha. My mom used to always say I looked like a ragamuffin when she didn't approve of my outfit.

I have some favourite German words: "Seealpen" and "Nationalgarde" My favorite word in German is Blogbuch. We had to talk about the topic "Jugendliche und Computern" in class, so I wanted to talk about blogging, but I didn't know, what the German word for a blog was. When I found out it was Blogbuch, I laughed, a lot. Now it's my favorite word! I really like to sound of it. ;D

German has the best words, I think. Wanderlust, like I said before, but also zeitgeist, doppelganger, kindergarten, realpolitik, etc. I think these are all German (correct me if I'm wrong)? And that word that Volkswagen made up for their commercials. I can't spell it, but it supposedly means "the joy of driving"?

I don't know the commercials but I guess it's Fahrspaß?

Or: "Die Freude am Fahren"?
