Favorite Words update

aceto1
biscuitry2
cardoon (best when uttered enthusiastically by Mario Batali, in which case the spelling would be something akin to "carDOON!!")
codswallop
cuneiform
mucilaginous
sanguine
Schenectady

I think it's nearing time for me to start a list of favorite words based on meaning and not just on words that are fun to say or hear, to roll over in the mouth like so many worry stones tumbled through one's nervously working fingers.

1Italian for "vinegar"
2apparently not a word, but bandied about on Good Eats as though it were... and it's just a darn nice combo of sounds...
