I know, some people are driven BATTY by the phrase "I heart..." but I kind of like it. I like playing with words, making them mine and using them the way I want to. I even like breaking some grammar rules as long as I know I'm breaking them. Because it's horrendous to break them accidentally.
But I love finding words. I subscribe to several "word of the day" newsletters and my current favourite word is cicumlocution. It's the BEST word for the coming political races, isn't it?
Meaning
*1 : the use of an unnecessarily large number of words to express an idea
2 : evasion in speech
Example Sentence
*Mr. Harvey was notorious for his tendency to engage in endless circumlocution when a simple, brief explanation would suffice.
