I don't know why, but if I come across that word in a book, I just want to savor it in my mind.
I think I like it when a word has two consonants in a row, especially s.

[B]Bourbon[B]. Just rolls off the tongue so easily. plus using the word usually means bourbon is being consumed as well!

Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

Oh, I like "traipse", too!
Also "frolic" - for some reason, it makes me think of bunny rabbits

I love a lot of words that mean different kinds of walking for whatever reasons: traipse, trounce, traverse, tread, saunter, mosey, strut, slink, amble, march, stagger, creep, glide, prowl, ramble, stroll, tramp, trek, slither. So many connotations to simply moving forward! It's endless, especially with modifiers! Depending on which word you choose it adds such an incredible amount of descriptive and expository information with a single word. I love language.

I've always loved that word. I wish I had more opportunities to use it in a sentence without coming across as a snob
Egregious is one of my favourite words. Watching baseball, there is a new player named Rougned Odor, and I said, ' is this guys name rough odor? That's egregious odor.' I broke my friend, he laughs about it all the time haha.

I'm with you 100% on the love for language.
Being as I am very sensitive to language subtleties (at least in my native Russian), I find it mesmerizing to read those authors who have extensive vocabulary. You are absolutely right, a single word can add so much - or, on the contrary, detract from the reading experience. My personal pet peeve is overuse of a particular word by an author - more often than not, it does not help "build up" a character or a story; it just shows someone whose vocabulary is subpar and who is too lazy to look up a synonym.

I try very, very hard not to overuse words. In my novel there is A LOT of blood, and there are only so many words you can use for blood without being too pretensious. I've used stuff like 'sanguinary spray', but is limited. I've had to get really creative, like 'bloody footprints' becomes 'dance flow chart in hell', stuff like that.

I got so much shit from my former co workers once because I used the word 'triumvirate' when describing my favorites team's 3 man attack formation lol.
OK... granted, it's Spanish... but I LOVE the word

most Spanish words sound way better than their English counterparts, anyhow!
