Ba·nan·as [buh-nan-uh

So our weekly assignment for the blogosphere is to post about our favorite word. This task was almost as difficult as choosing my favorite song (impossible) but after 24 hours of careful and creative consideration, I’ve concluded my favorite word is BANANAS!

It's easy to spell (and sing, thanks Gwen) and fun to say, especially when you emphasize all three syllables (Rach Zoe has perfected this particular pronunciation). I like that it is both a noun (fruit) and an adjective (describes something ridiculous, see video above). I also like that even spoiled bananas taste good when blended into smoothies or baked into bread. This is my favorite chocolate chip banana bread recipe, so delicious it's bananas.
I assume this word is also a favorite of Rachel Zoe, the fashion icon and celebrity stylist. She dresses many major movie stars for every event imaginable including the Oscars. She also has a reality show on Bravo called The Rachel Zoe Project if you want to see her in action. Because of the show, America has witnessed her personality quirks for several years now and per usual of reality stars, youtube comedy spoofs have been made in her honor. Here is one of my favorite impersonations (observe the “ba-nan-as”ness):
So what’s your favorite word? I surveyed my friends via twitter, facebook, bbm and compiled the feedback into my 20 favorites of favorites word roster (the comical yet inappropriate responses were omitted from the list, sorry).
Big thank you to everyone who participated, even the dirty word donators.
