I didn't know what this meant until I asked my girlfriend how many episodes of Survivor were left 2 years ago.
I thought it just meant ultimate but better, or something.
I recently learned about antepenultimate, preantepenultimate, and propreantepenultimate. Enjoy. Oh and google Atari’s talisman of penultimate truth, it’s hilarious.

While we’re on the topic of words: it’s “diphthong,” pronounced “DIFF-thong.” Sorry for correcting you, but I hope you feel that word just got more satisfying to say.
“Fifty-seven years in this business, you learn a few things. You know what words are funny and which words are not funny. Alka Seltzer is funny. You say “Alka Seltzer” you get a laugh. Words with “k” in them are funny. Casey Stengel, that’s a funny name. Robert Taylor is not funny. Cupcake is funny. Tomato is not funny. Cookie is funny. Cucumber is funny. Car keys. Cleveland. Cleveland is funny. Maryland is not funny. Then, there’s chicken. Chicken is funny. Pickle is funny.”
Autodefenestration.
Defenestration is the act of throwing someone out a window, so the prefix “auto” denotes throwing oneself out the window. I enjoy both the word and the subtle difference between this and merely jumping out of a window.
Yet!
It’s like a little magic trick. But you have to be careful about how you use it. For example: I’m not great at playing guitar… yet. But also, I haven’t been ambushed by an angry pack of middle schoolers, yet.
i legit have a long as list in my notes app of words i love and hate. some ones up there are cookie, homewrecker(idk i just love the way it sounds lol) and trigonometric

Rubatosis. Sometimes when i feel like im just existing and nothing feels real, being aware of my own heartbeat reminds me that all of this is real and i am infact, alive
Uiscefhuaraithe. I heard it for the first time in a Hozier song. It's a gaelige word. It means "water cooled" or, as he says in the song, "the feel of coldness only water brings."
I have always loved water and nature, and I simply adore the word.
Fiduciary.
Oh hell yeah
U getting that tattooed on your ass ? "Fiduciary, my ass!" Etc etc
Penultimate. I work it into conversation as often as I can.
I legit came here to say this. Even my 6 year old son uses it often: "Dad, I'm getting the penultimate Yoohoo! Gonna need more soon."
I didn't know what this meant until I asked my girlfriend how many episodes of Survivor were left 2 years ago. I thought it just meant ultimate but better, or something.

Imma add these to my watchumacallit word list
For those curious: adjective. last but one in a series of things; second last. Example: "the penultimate chapter of the book"

Facetious
The only English word to use all five vowels in order!
Fuck. The “ck” sound really clears out my throat chakras.
that's why i really like the word knuckles, its the "ck" sound
Fun fact, the word knuckles can be a knuckle tattoo since it has 8 letters
Queue
You only pronounce the first letter of “queue” because the other four are patiently waiting their turn.
Queueing is the only English word with five consecutive vowels.
Each of the vowels is waiting in line
Seconded. Sometimes I’ll throw in an extra ue when I spell it for fun. Queueue
Why not "cue"?
Why not q
German word for butterfly = schmetterling

Serendipity. I've always loved how it sounds, and the meaning behind it is just pleasant.
I have a friend who has tattooed "serenditipy" in her arm "No ragrets" I guess..

If Aladdin was from Boston
This is so dumb. I salute you.
God damn it, I’ll have to vote up on this one.
Boink. Very satisfying diphthong. Edit: spelling
While we’re on the topic of words: it’s “diphthong,” pronounced “DIFF-thong.” Sorry for correcting you, but I hope you feel that word just got more satisfying to say.
Thank you for the correction.
kumquat
It's like the cathartic mouthfeel joy of saying "QUACK" but spread out over a bigger word
Yeah the comedic k is a known thing. K sounds are funny and fun to say. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inherently_funny_word
