Anybody have a favorite Japanese word(s)?

Does anyone have a favorite Japanese word(s)?
みなさんの日本語の好きな言葉は何ですか?
(Mina-san no nihongo no suki na kotoba wa nan desu ka?)

for me it is ピカピカ (pika pika) which means "shiny"
and one I just learned recently 食いしん坊 (kuishinbou) which means "gluttonous or fatty"
XD
Anyone else?

Kirei and Kirai....because its really funny to hear people new to Japanese mix the two up at a bar...good times.

other than that, I like jirojiromiru (to stare at)...just cause its fun...oh and tokidoki is fun too...and also used for like 90 different things including the sound of the human heart.

I love the way japanese girls say "Sugooooooi!" or "Kawaiiiii!"
One of the first words I learnt in japanese was "しんじまえ" (shinjimae) wich means more or less "Go to hell"
And I really like "なにあねん" (nanianen?) What the hell? and "ゆったとりでっしょ" (yuttatoridessho) I told you so!
