There's billions of them, but what one is your favourite? and have you invented any yourself?

My best friend and I have between us invented words; phases-we go-through- words.

Of all the words there are, I simply love 'serendipity.'

It would actually be two words - Multi-temporal Causality. A 'buzzword' from the late 80s that never really caught on as intended. If you throw it into something now, I find people either skip right over it or pretend they know what it means and they use it all the time. It doesn't actually mean anything really. Could be taken as something that has an effect on many different levels or in many different appearances, or in the other direction, many different things that come together to cause one event/action/result/or even mindset.

As I said, it doesn't really mean anything but I have fun throwing it into conversations.

I don't get to use it much in my books, but I've always loved the word 'blossom'. Love how it sounds :)
