FAVORITE WORD
I once heard an English teacher say
that his favorite word was
“oleomargarine”. Ooo. Interesting.
I don’t remember anything else
he taught us, but I do remember,
“What’s your favorite word?”
That happened in a classroom
in the 1950’s. I came up with
many words in the years ever since.
bivouac, bazooka, bayou, bayberry,
ballad, backbone, burnish and those
are just words that begin with “b”.
