    3 people already voted for moist. Still within the crazyfication factor.

    How else are you supposed to describe a perfect sponge cake?

    All of the other words meaning "containing some moisture but not enough to be wet" are even worse, cake-wise

    Damp
    Clammy
    Sweaty

    Mmm, carve me up a slice of that lovely damp Victoria sponge, yummy

    Also I'm just assuming that anybody that votes for it is stating that their favorite word is "Other"

    I periodically pull an obscure word out of the dark recesses of my mind and seamlessly use it in a sentence, only realizing afterwards that it's not a normal word. This often prompts me to Google it and make sure it actually means what I think it means, which usually comes back as "eh, close enough."

    Today that word is 'profligacy.'

    Those are both thoroughly unpleasant, but I particularly don't want to encounter a moist shitbird.

    I don't ever use it, and I guess looking it up, that's the uncommon way to spell it. But it's my go-to for favorite words. Because it's so rarely used.

    These are all good, yeah. Particularly fond of garrulous myself, what a good word to describe someone.
