I've all-ways like the word "Uppity."  It's just so fun to say.  And, yes, it's gotten me in-to trouble a few times.

Uppity is a great word.  Vulva is one of my personal favorites.  It's a lovely woody sort of word.

shitass- Old school cussing at its finest. I always knew when I was really in trouble when my mom threw out
the "shitass" word.

pickaninny- I love that word so much that I sometimes put six or seven pig tails in my hair and make my wife call me a "filthy little pickaninny" during sex.

sea anemone- It just rolls off the tongue, especially if you use your best pickaninny accent.

flatus- Conjures up images of nursing home farts.

I can't let this stand. I don't drink unless I want an 8 hr coma so I was the designated driver. My friends got popped for drunk and disorderly on Bourbon St. Their car, my only way out of town, I had to figure some way to post bail while my asshole pals got to sleep it off. I loitered all night in that squad room typing reports. Case dismissed. Busted for loitering sounds like lots more fun.

Husband™ and one of his best buddies once got jugged for "loitering" as teenagers.  Their high-school hometown was Lumberton, NC, in the heart of Robeson County (the corruption, mayhem and bone-deep perverted evil in that part of the world would make an excellent novel, one which would get its author assassinated; but I digress).

After a night of general boyish dissolution they found themselves too inebriated to drive, so they sacked out in their car.  They were awakened by a cop rapping on the window.

"What the hell are you boys doing?" sez the cop.

Husband™'s good friend, irritated from being awakened so abruptly, and perhaps too groggy to remember a) he was speaking to a police officer and b) the things police officers in that county were known to do to people, replied waspishly, "Well, we were sleeping!"

They spent the night in a cell.

"Loitering" is a very handy charge for police officers the world over.

I also like the word "loitering".

I also like the word "Lobbyist".  Not sure why.  I don't really like lobbyists...but I like the word.

I like masticate as well.  I like flagellate. 

I like lyrical.

I like prodigious a lot.

A couple of Spanish words I like:

Mueble  (pronounced Moo-eh' bleh): an item of furniture

Chisme (cheess' meh): gossip

Aguacate (ah gwah cah' teh): Avocado

Cacahuate (cah cah wah' teh): Peanut

Satanas (Sah tah nahss'): Satan (but it sounds so much scarier in Spanish)

Cucuy (coo coo' ee): Sort of like the Mexican boogeyman, he takes away bad little children

If we're doing words of the non-English persuasion, I have to include "bronzage", the French word for tanning.

Hell, if we're going to eliminate words that aren't of that language's origin, we'll have to throw out almost all of the English words.

Edit:  I do like the way the words taken from Nuatl feel when you say them.  They kind of roll around in your mouth on the way out.

Like English, Spanish has borrowed many words as well: Guadalajara - originally from the Arabic - is one such example.

Some of my favorite Spanish words:

Crepúsculo - twilight

Madrugada - the late hours of the night, early hours of the morning, before dawn

Esposas - handcuffs, coincidentally means wives

Sinsemilla

That's how I spelled it initially.  Then  did a quick spell check.  Apparently, it has a "g" in it

However the word is spelled, I do not recommend eating them when extremely hung over.

Well, that same source seems to have it right, at least in one place.  I grew up in the south eating cracklins.  Trust me.
