1. solipsism - great fun to say, specially because hardly anyone knows what it means.

2. "subliminable" - thanks to George W. Bush for this one.

3. "humungous" - not a real word, but what the hell, it sounds good!

4. "bodacious" - as above (in my opinion).

5. "hellacious" - ditto.

6. perpendicular - describes the lovemaking technique of giraffes, who really have no choice about the matter.

7. democracy - a semi-mythical means of governing a people...works on the principle of giving them the impression that they have some control over the process, a dubious notion at best. It's still better than dictatorsip, however, unless the dictator is a person of very advanced moral responsibility and very humane character, with the genuine interests of all his/her people in mind...(which can hardly be guaranteed, of course). :-)

Say it when you're feeling down..."Democracy, Democracy, DEMOCRACY!!!"

See? You're feeling better already, aren't you?

8. "Santa Claus" - Even better. Sort of works the way democracy does...promises much, leaves a few crumbs on the floor. Say it when you feel in need of more goodies.
