Best Word Ever!




The best word in the english language has finally been decided. It was chosen for it's connotation, denotation, and funotation. The best word has many uses, but it is still simple and luckily not yet a cliche. No, it is not the word "Poop" although "Poopy" ran a close 4th. It is actually derived from a classy word that the Brits would use to celebrate a scrupmtious meal of tea and crumpets. It is derived from the word "Hurrah," but we Yanks made it cooler... as we always do. The best english word ever is:

Hooray!

What fun and joy we feel when using this word. It is excitement, exhiliration and triumph all in one little bouncy, playful word. So celebrate the Best English Word Ever, say "Hooray" today!

You might be interested in the fact that the Best German Word Ever is "Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung." It is a legal disclamer placed on written decisions made by government officials. The actual meaning is boring, but the word is just great. Try it, it's oh so fun to say! Hooray!
