Peachy.
When someone asks me how I am. I say, "Peachy." If I'm having a bad day, I can say "B!+chy" and no one knows the difference.

I am with Blondie. I like the word "obfuscation"
I saw a license plate frame the other day that said "Eschew Obfuscation" and I found that entertaining.

Wow. A good mix of obscenity, and words you never get to use in every day life. I guess we'll never know what Nos's edited was.
SP "Antidisestablishmentarianism" was my second favourite word as a kid because I thought it made me sound so SMART (why the brothers hated me so much, I loved sounding smart).
Other current favourites of mine are:
Gobsmacked
Snarky (waves at ConfusedJW in case he is reading this)
Snorfle (my daughter finds this one very amusing too)
Etapateta (a german word meaning "fastidious")
