Ask Me Anything #14

xfirefly9x asked: What is your favourite word(s)?

perfunctory - used to describe something that is done without energy or enthusiasm because of habit or because it is expected.

(Found this word when reading 'Hitchhiker's Guide' and I've always loved the sound of it...wish I could use it more often)

shenanigans - a devious trick used especially for an underhand purpose

(We say this at work a lot, usually "NO SHENANIGANS!" when we talk about what the evening shift will hold. It's fun to say)

and also "frak"

A good LJ friend of mine uses "shenanigans" a lot, and an ex-coworker of mine also, and it's quite catching! I have definitely started using it more since I met them -- it's such a fun word to say!
