Well, if "foreign" words in english usage are fair play, then Weltschmertz (world weariness) is one that tickles my fancy.
Anyway, I'm feeling rather world weary right now, so I think I'll go blow my f*ckin' brains out. See ya later.

Flibbertigibbet seams particularly appealing today, don't know why though. It just has a nice rhythm I guess.

Floccinaucinihilipilification (an instance of judging something to be worthless or trivial).

Of course it's not my favourite word, but it's damn more interesting than 'antidisestablishmentarianism', which is widely thought to be the longest word in the English dictionary.

In fact 'floccinaucinihilipilification' is one letter longer.

I think angst means afraidness or something similar, while ångest means dread(a kind of harder worry, you know what i mean..)

sorry for dual post
