My favorite word isn't a real word. It is scrumtrulescent. The comedian Will Ferrell made up the word in a skit he was in on the show Saturday Night Live. Ferrell was doing a skit for "Inside the Actors Studio" and was pretending to be James Lipton. The definition on the website Urban Dictionary is as follows: "adj: so great that any other word employed would be woefully insufficient, and would serve only to limit the sheer magnitude of the greatness intended as a descriptor."
This description is very comicly written and is even funnier when it comes out of the mouth of Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell is a mastermind when it comes to comedy, especially when he was on Saturday Night Live in the late 90's and early 2000's. Another one of his very famous impersonations was when he played Alex Trebek on a mock episode of Jeopardy. Scrumtrulescent is a perfect example of his comic genius and how he can think of these crazy off the wall things that no one else could ever think of. I will often use it as a joke when I am trying to describe something, but I can't. This leads to laughs and reminiscing about the times when he was still on Saturday Night Live. It is a perfect way to break the tension in a conversation.
