Despotism. Not the best definition in the world (tyranny, absolute power, etc) but I like how it sounds. What's your favorite word (either by meaning or phonetics)? |

You're scaring me. My favorite word is 'blithe' -- it's a happy word about being happy. |

I like the word "ambivalent", but then again I don't. I used to like the word "apathy" but now I couldn't care less. |
