Azerbaijan.

Not so much a word as a name...but it is my favourite word. Also:

Ideological pathology.

Yes, it is technically two words, but I like it. :)

Azerbaijan.

I agree. Well, not my favorite but definitely one of my favorite country names. It has real rythm to it - Azerbaijan!

Last years(or before that, I lose track) Eurovision was held in Azerbaijan, in case you're non-european and don't know. If you're European, you allready knew, and couldn't give less of a rats ass :D

I also like Congo. It has a firm, stirdy negroness to it. Congo!

Edit: Don't hurry to find out what Eurovision is, it is difficult to explain - it is NOT a "talent competition", but it is a competition where each European country (and some outside) represent with an artist - this may be ANY artist, it may be a newcomer, or an established singer. The whole point is just tradition and singing, not so much to really break down talent or anything. the competition only has one "round", and doesn't continue as a series.
The winning country hosts the next show. It has run since after WW2, and was probably implemented to make Europeans buddies again :D
The show is a typical love-to-hate subject in Europe, and is also known for being ADORED by the gay population.

Noted.

Umm..."noted" was not meant as a word I like (though I have nothing against it), plus, I can use it more than rarely...I am just noting the remark on eurovision lol.
