cellar door

Also, what's the word when a person's name is also who they are for example:

James Doctor who in real life is a doctor

Ulan Bolt his name is Bolt and he's the fastest man in the world

and of course a bad example but Chris Moneymaker a WSOP Main Even Champion.

You know what I mean? There's a word for peoples names that also describe who or what they do.

I hate the word Jazz

The word I hate the most is it'll. Just say it over again and you'll see how stupid it sounds.

Many words in here just suck. "Facetious" just sounds so phony to me, like someone is trying to use it to sound smart.

Words you "love" would be something that would be humorous, useful, etc all rolled into one. Something like "banging". Very versatile.

"She's banging". Easy to understand, everyone gets it.
"You're breath is BANGING!" Easy to understand, everyone gets it, and it's funny.

Phrases like "hot to death", good. Facetious, not good.

I dunno, maybe I'm just ghetto.

Does that mean you're breath is good, or bad? Not easy to understand.

Ghetto, but in the slang adjective form.

Also like galactic.

"Laconic" is a good word.

"facetious" is fancy? How can you hate on it? It's pleasant on the tongue and it's a rare word with the vowels AEIOU used in order.

"bangin" and "hot to death" are terrible words. Hot to death isn't even a word. Both bottom 5% bottom of the barrel crap probably said by overly-tanned drunk short guys with fat Snookiesque hos at their side.

I like "Smithsonian"
