my favorite didactylic: minimifidian

my favorite diamphibrachic: uxoriophilic ["being in love with being in love with one's wife," a rather apt description of Petruchio?]

Skanky - it's not a pleasant way to describe someone or something, but I love it all the same, and use it a lot!

Skanky! That's great, Jayne. I also love the noun "skank": she's a skank!

Do you know "skink" as well? Here's a link to a skink: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...Ls1oW4CA#spf=1

I could provide a link to a skank as well, if you wish.

A kink for skanks? No thanks!

Ahh! Good one, Jayne...and it reminds me of it's "Sk" counterpart, "Sketchy," which I also love (and use far more often than I should).

And as per John's post, I was thinking of another short word that I adore -- "peep." It comes up in Shakespeare all the time, and I love it -- peeping out between Caesar's legs, for instance. It's so innocuous, and a strangely "cute" word, yet Shakespeare in particular often uses it in highly charged contexts.
