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?

I haven't had a chance to work KY into a conversation but I've seen plenty examples of it.
Another one I learned from my dictionary is Kuru Kuru Pa. Kind of like your mind has snapped and your crazy now or, better yet, scatter brained.

Awesome - my favourite Izakaya when I was living in Japan was called "Kuishinbou". Now I know what it means! I think the name was well suited because the master always used to add a knob of butter to everything. I think going to that place has taken a good ten years off my life, but it was worth it! During the night he seemed to constantly drink and smoke, and get louder and more genki as the night wore on. He was my hero. As well as that, they had the best tasting beer in town. :)

I forgot to say, my favourite Japanese phrase is "Otsukaresamadesu". I'm not exactly sure what it means but all the staff at my local shopping mall said it to each other, and it was one of the first things I learnt when i started working there. I think it's something like "do your best, or keep doing your best". Correct me if i'm wrong. Also it was always said so quickly, it ended up sounding like "Osamadeeeeessssss" hehehe. Kind of like "arigato gozaimus" always came out "azaimus"

面白そうですね。 よくやりました！

it seems quite interesting. you've done well!

personally, i seem to accumulate favorites, and the longer i study, the more difficult it becomes to choose among them.
