Dala: yeah, but you got me thinking about words now
Dala: what's your favorite word?
Dala: i'm just curious
Meg: It.
Meg: It.
Dala: liar.
Meg: It is an awesome word. It can be used in a number of situations and it never gets old. It is a young word.
Meg: Is pretentious your favorite word? I can't believe you have a favorite word.
Dala: stop it. you're like the creepy planet in a wrinkle in time
Dala: i have several. and a couple in spanish, too.
Meg: Let the endless mocking begin!
Dala: oh, please. you read. you're a reader. don't tell me you don't occassionally come across some particular word that brightens your day just because nobody uses it that often,
Meg: Like 'besmirch'? I hate "besmirch".
Dala: no, not a word you hate.
Dala: besides, who uses besmirch?
Dala: jack might. in front of the commodore, probably.
Dala: okay, now i've got to work besmirch into the next fic i write
Dala: work with me here
Meg: In the last Harry Potter book.
Meg: The lady who killed Neville's parents said "besmirch" and I lost all respect for her as a villain.
Dala: well, yeah, but that was like nine hundred pages. i'm sure rowling was just running out of words altogether at taht point
Meg: She used "damn" enough.
Dala: ::giggles:: bellatrix is cool!
Meg: The idea of her is cool, but since she said "besmirch" and something about "little baby Potter", it makes me think that if someone gave her a good comeback she'd look confused, sit on the floor and cry. Maybe that's why she ended up with Voldemort. It's not that he's super evil and magical, he's just got some good verbal zingers.
Meg: Although, no, his dialogue sucks too.
Meg: Maybe they're in a support group?
Dala: that was how the death eaters got started
Meg: And that's why they're the DeathEaters! Because words are spoken through the mouth, and their words are like death because they suck and they eat their words!
Dala: "hi, my name is tom, and i can't come up with a snappy rejoinder to save my life"
Meg: "Hi Tom!"
Dala: hey! stop distracting me! answer my word question!
Meg: It! I told you! Great word, fabulous word, splendid word!
Meg: That was pretty pretentious of me, don't you agree?
Dala: *sad turkey frown*
Dala: wait, no, that's too sad a frowny face
Dala: *mildly angry turkey frown*
Dala: *red-faced turkey frown*
Meg: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to besmirch some of your favorite words.
Dala: wait, that's embarrassed face
Dala: come on! you have to have a favorite word!
Dala: and it is NOT it!'
Dala: Is too!
Meg: It is too, acutally.
Meg: Anyway, it's all moot because I have to go to practice.
Meg: Bye!
Dala: ::pouts::

So tell me:
