Mine is ‘pearly penile papules’ as it sounds like a fancy magic spell.

Ah, I’ve never encountered anyone else using the latter.

Did you know that Brad Pitt claims it?

edit: So do I, in case anyone thinks I’m being disparaging.

Oooh, good call! It totally does. I bet a Toxic Megacolon show would have a wild and kickass mosh pit.

Any of the big compound medical words are fun to say and construct IMO. Adrenocorticotropic, deoxyribonucleic, those kinda words. They seem big and scary but they’re quite descriptive and once you know the “formula” behind them it’s not too bad. Maybe not the most fun words but I feel good every time I can use one and deploy it like it’s no big deal (ie my mouth doesn’t fuck it up). It’s like executing a big combo with your mouth.

Echolalia

Or vagina. I really like vagina, and the word vagina.

But echolalia is more fun to say. It’s like tintinnabulation or brobdingnagian in that regard, despite being shorter. But the sound of the word works so neatly with the meaning of the word.

I recently figured out you can arrange the letters of this word to make a Letter Boxed puzzle:

  P G A
S         H
O         E
T         N
  Y M R
