I have so many. Some are favourites because of they way they sound to me, others because they conjure up an instant mental image. I listed the first three that came to mind (must've used them recently to pop up so easily).
scintillating
exquisite (both have strong sound & imagery for me)
pedantic

Exquisite is a great word. So is sensous, goddess, aphrodisiac.
But my fav today is reverence.
Along the line of freak, I like to use dag (in an affectionate way, of course!).

Ah, Rach, I love sensuous too. I've always thought of myself as a sensuous but not sensual person - same with a sociable, yet not social person.
When I say something is 'exquisite', I have the mental gesture of bringing both hands up to eye level & joining thumb to fore finger with each hand to emphasise just how exquisite.

Hey Rach,
Dag is such a great word - it can be adapted to situations really easily! You know, "what a dag" and "I look really daggy today" or "you DAG!". Yep, definitely love the word. When we were kids we looked up in the phone book and found a listing under the name "Dagg" so we rang the number and said "Is that Mrs Dagg" she said "Yes" then (laughing hysterically) we asked her how life was on the back of a sheep's bum! We thought it was hilarious, of course we were just being terrible nuisances - only excuse is that we were too young and silly to think about how poor Mrs Dagg felt about it all.
Love,
Deb.> Exquisite is a great word. So is sensous, goddess, aphrodisiac.

I guess like that word too, but wouldn't have known it if you hadn't posted it.

how about sesquipedalianism?
translation: use of very long words! (literally, use of words that are a foot and a half long)
I learned it from my long ago therapist in another city, when I complained once that he tended to use words I didn't understand. He acknowledged that he does do that and then told me there is even a word to describe someone who does that! I got such a kick out of that.
