What are some of your favourite words & why? These are some of mine:
Bilious - a reply to "how are you feeling?" was "Bilious dahling, bilious."
Scunnered - fed up, as in 'Ah'm fair scunnered'.
Elbow - just love the shape of the word when written by hand.
Chortle - thank you C.S. Lewis.
Jamesons - mine's a double
Crapulence - the result of too much Jamesons.
Loyalty - speaks for itself but works both ways.
Wolf - undistilled dog, a stunning creature.
Giggle - have been told I've a great one, even at my age!
Devilment - a wee bit is good for the soul.

uxorious - overly fond of one's wife
Not sure if there's a version for being too fond of your hubby - not sure what constitutes "overly fond" but I love the word!

Cheers for that link
As an aside to topic but related to the Two Ronnies fork handles sketch -
I had a patient with a chest drain in, I was on my knees looking at it & I said "Can I have a wee cough?"
She replied " 'course, have a fortnight if you want".

One of my favourite words is
Zephyr
I like it for three reasons,
(i) its intrinsic meaning ( the breeze, not the Ford}
(ii) the way it is spelled, beginning with a 'z' the use of 'ph' instead of 'f' and 'yr' intead of 'ir'
(iii) it sounds like a whisper, which is itself the sound of a small breeze
