@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 wrote:"Ignorant clots?" Huh, that actually rings a bell. As for me, I'm more for "debilitating idiot."
@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.

Re: Awesome words
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.

Re: Awesome words
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'.

Re: Awesome words
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.
Re: Awesome words
I quite like the word 'winkle'. There are some others too, but I've forgotten them...
Re: Awesome words
In these latest months I started to like words like Sternocleidomastoid.

Re: Awesome words
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.

Blueprint. Some standards we have are interesting, why blue?
Re: Awesome words
Irate. This word would be cooler if it wasn't affiliated with a cruddy reviewer. But nonetheless, it's a pretty good word.

Re: Awesome words
Incensed is a nice alternative too, though it also can be used to describe pleasant aromas.
Re: Awesome words
Boogaloo. Come on admit it, it's a fun word.
Re: Awesome words
Asphyxiation. Don't know why, but I love it (the word, not ashpyxiation itself). Also, approximately sounds awesome to me.
Re: Awesome words
Suffocation, assassination, and SNAFU.
