Hey /lit/. My favorite word is "microcosm."
I learned about it in middle school, and it's my favorite word because it's the perfect word to describe, metaphorically, the small version of something big. Like if I described /lit/ as a microcosminc version of the editing world.
Another favorite word of mine is "exaggerate" because I learned that one in second grade and learning such a "big word" made me feel accomplished.

Welkin.
My great uncle taught me this word when I was a kid and we’d play a game of going back and forth with rare words trying to stump one another on their definitions. I thought it was interesting how it describes something no other word seems to.

i like the word kaleidoscopic. baudelaire used it to describe lovers of modern life in his essay about constantin guys and it really struck a chord with me.

"Nigger", unironically. You could write a philosophical treatise about how using the N word is the ultimate act of rebellion in current year. Basically, finding yourself in a place where you can say nigger without consequence is like listening to jazz in Nazi occupied France. A delicious and daring—brave, really—taste of forbidden expression. Heresy against the church of St. Floyd.

You can say bigger all you want, there’s a lot of places for that. Too bad those are exclusively third world shitholes. I wonder why

Bro nobody cares about you saying nigger on an anime board. If you actually think youre being rebellious you must have nothing exciting going on in life

I don't know about favorite, but frequently I want the word for "exalted"
but instead when I reach for it I find "exquisite" or "elevated" or "exhautic" or even "epicurean"
I should probably just use sublime and save myself the trouble
