Words

Words have great power. On "Inside the Actors Studio" James Lipton concludes his interviews with a series of questions, many of which are word-related:
What is your favorite word?
What is your least favorite word?
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
What turns you off?
What is your favorite curse word?
What sound or noise do you love?
What sound or noise do you hate?
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
What profession would you not like to do?
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Anyway...I have recently encountered a word that may be my new favorite word because I giggle whenever I see it or say it. It's "piggery." I never saw the word before a few days ago on Kiva (yes, my new obsession). I thought it was a made up word so today I looked it up and found out that it is really a place where swine are kept. So I helped a group of women in Uganda buy piglets for their piggery because I can't stop giggling every time I see that word. Piggery...it's funny!
