Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

There are some words that i really love, ones that i only use in certain situations and some that i cherish so much i only use once in a blue moon. Words, big or small, weird or not, have so much more significance and value than i think we credit them for. It's funny how words that get continuously used slowly lose their meaning, depth or worth and fade into the over-used pile. This is always a shame, but they always seem to make a comeback sooner or later. However, along with these words that i completely adore there are words that i absolutely despise. Some are just picky like "get", i don't know why but i just cannot stand that word. And yes i know i already used it once in this post, i tried to bypass it with no success. However, there is a word that i wish would completely fade out of existence and never make it's way back around. "Fail." It has no grace, no glory, no beauty, no strength, no encouragement and no peaceful sound. If you can imagine nails running down on a chalkboard or the noise of a violent crash of objects, this is what i hear when that word is spoken; painful noise. The weight that this word carries is so much more heavy and deteriorating than many people believe it to be and i honestly wish it would just die. What makes anything a fail? By whose standards is one judging this or that or him or her and with right, to the point where the word "fail" is used as a descriptor? Perhaps it has become more culturally hip and therefore roles more freely off the tongue. Still....it can be saved, it can be spared for those times when you didn't work your butt off as much in chemistry class as you should have and therefore deserve that horrid F. Just the same though, i am not in favor of this word, may it rest in pieces. HE does not create anything that is defined as a failure. I would however like to leave you with my favorite word of all time. It is simple and eloquent and i feel that it sums up more than most of its competitors. I am a fan.
Beautiful.
