Also, a lot of those sort of words that kind of get made up in the fly, for things which don't really have a name:
Exactly. I wish it were more socially acceptable for an adult to shout "Shabba!" at random intervals throughout the working day, but these days I just have to think it and enjoy it quietly to myself.
About 30 years ago, I was told off in French class with the line:
"Shabba bien merci is neither funny nor correct French, Fakeman"
Shenanigans - one of my most over-used words, it's a pity some word filters screen it out for racism.
Baboon - one of my favourite words to say.
Although I have claimed it's because the word is racist against the Irish, it's a Scunthorpe type situation. Nothing that couldn't be fixed by decent regular expressions.
Username checks out.
Careful you don't get yourself banned with all that racist talk though.
Not really a word but the name Swarfega. It's a hand soap used by mechanical engineers to clean oil off their hands.
I liked it so much it's been my online alias for years.
YES!! My grandad (plumber) had a big tub of the green jelly stuff that I loved using! Whenever I finished helping him in the workshop I'd go and put a tiny bit on my hands and WOOSH - clean hands! Happy memories. :)
I heard people in the UK like tea. These comments seem to tell the opposite, as noone stated tea as their favorite word.

It would seem that way, to be fair. Perhaps I've been planted here by The British Tea Foundation?
A Tea plant, perhaps :)
