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”.
