@Shrooblord: It wasn't spelled exactly like that. After the lambda comes he letter that looks like a w. Forgot what it was called.

@Master: Perhaps you've heard it from Hellsing Ultimate? I heard Seras say it, and for some reason I've been saying it ever since.

You mean the letter omega ω! Μολων λαβε, yes, is Greek. Mixing those two letters up makes quite the difference! ;D
It would be 'molon labe' [mo-lone lah-bay] if you had to write it out in English. It's a famous Spartan phrase (yes, more so than "This... is...") - I should've recognised it immediately.
Basically, it means 'BRING IT ON' in context.

There's something about "accentuate" that really gets to me. And wingardium leviosa. Mostly the leviosa part. If fake magic spells from a modern fantasy book series count, anyways. I also have a thing for texture, pooka, grapefruit, and poon tang.

Let's unbury this topic.

Unfathomable
There's just something about those f, th and labial sounds that make me go 'mmm... able'.

Getaway. Simple, contracted, says-what-it-does sorta thing. Doesn't sound half as awesome as the others I've highlighted, but very neat nevertheless.

I quite like the word 'winkle'. There are some others too, but I've forgotten them...

Now this is conspicuous... Are you, by any chance, stalking me? :P

If stalking pertains to frequenting such a gathering place yours truly has enlisted in four score years ago such as you, dearest, have too found yourself doing, then ascertain that your assumption is confluent with reality, I must.

Irate. This word would be cooler if it wasn't affiliated with a cruddy reviewer. But nonetheless, it's a pretty good word.

Incensed is a nice alternative too, though it also can be used to describe pleasant aromas.

Asphyxiation. Don't know why, but I love it (the word, not ashpyxiation itself). Also, approximately sounds awesome to me.
